2 Kings 19:1-13
11Now when KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 heardH8085 the report, he 2toreH7167 his clothesH899, 3coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242, and enteredH935 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 2Then he sentH7971 EliakimH471, whoH834 was inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the householdH1004, with ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5613 and the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548, 4coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, to 5IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531. 3And they saidH559 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 HezekiahH2396 saysH559: ‘ThisH2088 dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of distressH6869, rebukeH8433, and humiliationH5007; for childrenH1121 have comeH935 to the pointH4866 ofH4866 birthH4866, and thereH369 isH369 noH369 strengthH3581 to deliver them. 46PerhapsH194 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will hearH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whomH834 his masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 has sentH7971 7to tauntH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430, and will avengeH3198 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has heardH8085. Therefore, offerH5375 a prayerH8605 for 8the remnantH7611 that is 9leftH4672.’” 5So the servantsH5650 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 cameH935 to IsaiahH3470. 6And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 to them, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to your masterH113: ‘The LordH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “Do not beH3372 fearfulH3372 becauseH4480H6440 of the wordsH1697 that you have heardH8085, with whichH834 the 10servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 11have blasphemedH1442 Me. 7BeholdH2009, I am going to putH5414 a spiritH7307 in him so that 12he will hearH8085 newsH8052 and returnH7725 to his own landH776. And 13I will make him fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.”’”
8Then RabshakehH7262 returnedH7725 and foundH4672 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 fightingH3898 againstH5921 14LibnahH3841, for he had heardH8085 that the king had leftH5265 15LachishH3923. 9When he heardH8085 them sayH559 aboutH413 TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of 16CushH3568, “BeholdH2009, he has comeH3318 outH3318 to fightH3898 you,” he sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH7725 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, 10“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of 17JudahH3063: ‘Do not 18let your GodH430 in whomH834 you trustH982 deceiveH5378 you by sayingH559, “19JerusalemH3389 will not be handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.” 11BeholdH2009, you yourselfH859 have heardH8085 whatH834 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have doneH6213 to allH3605 the landsH776, destroyingH2763 them completelyH2763. So will you be savedH5337? 1220Did the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 whichH834 my fathersH1 destroyedH7843 saveH5337 them: 21GozanH1470, 22HaranH2771, RezephH7530, and 23the sonsH1121 of EdenH5729 whoH834 were in TelassarH8515? 1324WhereH335 is the kingH4428 of HamathH2574, the kingH4428 of ArpadH774, the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of SepharvaimH5617, and of HenaH2012 and IvvahH5755?’”
