2 Kings 18:22-25

22Perhaps you will tell me, ‘We are trusting in the Lord our God.’ But Hezekiah is the one who eliminated his high places and altars and then told the people of Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship at this altar in Jerusalem.’

23Now make a deal with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, provided you can find enough riders for them.

24Certainly you will not refuse one of my master’s minor officials and trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen.

25Furthermore it was by the command of the Lord that I marched up against this place to destroy it. The Lord told me, ‘March up against this land and destroy it.’”’”
