2 Kings 18:13-19

13Now in the fourteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 did SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 comeH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 allH3605 the fenced citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them.

14And HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to LachishH3923, sayingH559, I have offendedH2398; returnH7725 from meH413: that whichH834 thou puttest on meH413 will I bearH5375. And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 appointedH5414 unto HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and thirtyH7970 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.

15And HezekiahH2396 gaveH5414 him allH3605 the silverH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004.

16At that time didH834 HezekiahH2396 cutH7112 offH7112 the gold from the doorsH1817 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and from the pillars whichH834 HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had overlaidH6823, and gaveH5414 it to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.

17And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 TartanH8661 and Rab-sarisH7249 and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426 unto JerusalemH3389. And they wentH935 upH5927 and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they were comeH935 upH5927, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the conduit of the upperH5945 poolH1295, whichH834 is in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704.

18And when they had calledH7121 to the kingH4428, there cameH3318 outH3318 to them EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, whichH834 was over the householdH1004, and ShebnahH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142.

19And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye nowH4994 to HezekiahH2396, ThusH3541 saith the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, WhatH4100 confidenceH986 is this whereinH834 thou trustest?
