2 Kings 18:13-20
131Now in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396, SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH5927 up againstH5921 allH3605 the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and seizedH8610 them. 14Then HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 at LachishH3923, sayingH559, “2I have doneH2398 wrongH2398. 3WithdrawH7725 from me; whateverH834 you 4imposeH5414 on me I will bearH5375.” So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 5requiredH7760 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and thirtyH7970 talentsH3603 of goldH2091. 156HezekiahH2396 gaveH5414 him allH3605 the silverH3701 which was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004. 16At that timeH6256 HezekiahH2396 cutH7112 offH7112 the gold from the doorsH1817 of the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, and from the doorpostsH539 whichH834 HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had overlaidH6823, and gaveH5414 it to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
17Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 7TartanH8661 and Rab-sarisH7249 and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a largeH3515 armyH2428 to JerusalemH3389. So they wentH5927 up and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they wentH5927 up, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the 8conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, whichH834 is on the highwayH4546 of the 9fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704. 18When they calledH7121 to the kingH4428, 10EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004, and 11ShebnahH7644 the scribeH5613 and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142, cameH3318 out to them.
19Then RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “SayH559 nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, “12WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you 13haveH982? 20You sayH559 (but they are 14onlyH389 emptyH8193 wordsH1697), ‘I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421.’ NowH6258 on whomH4310 do you relyH982, 15that you have rebelledH4775 against me?
