2 Kings 18:13-19

131Now in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396, SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 marchedH5927 againstH5921 allH3605 the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and seizedH8610 them. 14Then HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 messengers to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 at LachishH3923, sayingH559, “2I have doneH2398 wrongH2398. 3WithdrawH7725 from me; whateverH834 you imposeH5414 on me I will endureH5375.” So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 imposedH7760 on HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 the payment of threeH7969 hundredH3967 4talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and thirtyH7970 talentsH3603 of goldH2091. 155HezekiahH2396 then gaveH5414 him allH3605 the silverH3701 that 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 he gaveH5414 it to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.

17Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 6TartanH8661, Rab-sarisH7249, and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a largeH3515 armyH2428 to JerusalemH3389. So they wentH5927 upH5927 and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they wentH5927 upH5927, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the 7conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, whichH834 is on the roadH4546 of the 8fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704. 18Then they calledH7121 to the kingH4428, and 9EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whoH834 was inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the householdH1004, 10ShebnahH7644 the scribeH5613, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the secretaryH4206, wentH3318 outH3318 to them.

19And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “SayH559 nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: “11WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you 12haveH982?
