11Now in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396, 2SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH5927 up againstH5921 allH3605 the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and seizedH8610 them. 2And the 3kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 to KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a largeH3515 armyH2428. And he stoodH5975 by the 4conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 on the highwayH4546 of the 5fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704. 3Then 6EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004, and 7ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5613, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the recorderH2142, cameH3318 out to him.
