17Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 1TartanH8661, 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 2conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, whichH834 is on the roadH4546 of the 3fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704. 18Then they calledH7121 to the kingH4428, and 4EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whoH834 was inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the householdH1004, 5ShebnahH7644 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: “6WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you 7haveH982? 20You sayH559--but they are onlyH389 8emptyH8193 wordsH1697-I have a planH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421.’ NowH6258 on whomH4310 have you reliedH982, 9that you have revoltedH4775 against me? 21NowH6258 beholdH2009, you have 1011reliedH982 on the 12supportH4938 of thisH2088 brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; on whichH834 if a manH376 leansH5564, it will goH935 into his 13handH3709 and pierceH5344 it. ThatH3651 isH3651 howH3651 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is to allH3605 who relyH982 on him.
