11Now in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 HezekiahH2396, 2SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 marchedH5927 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 roadH4546 to 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 secretaryH4206, wentH3318 outH3318 to him.

4And 8RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, “SayH559 nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 saysH559: “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 confidenceH986 that you haveH982? 5I sayH559, ‘Your planH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421 are onlyH389 9emptyH8193 wordsH1697.’ NowH6258 on whomH4310 have you reliedH982, that 10you have revoltedH4775 against me? 6BeholdH2009, you have reliedH982 on the 11staffH4938 of thisH2088 brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714, on whichH834 if a manH376 leansH5564, it will goH935 into his 12handH3709 and pierceH5344 it. 13SoH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to allH3605 who relyH982 on him. 7But ifH3588 you sayH559 to me, ‘We trustH982 in the LordH3068 our GodH430,’ is it not He 14whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 has takenH5493 awayH5493 and has saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, ‘You shall worshipH2331 beforeH6440 thisH2088 altarH4196’?
