2 Kings 18:18-26

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?

20Thou sayest, but they are but vain wordsH1697, There is counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. NowH6258 on whomH4310 dost thou trustH982, that thou hast rebelledH4775 againstH5921 meH5921?

21NowH6258, beholdH2009, thou trustest uponH5921 the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, evenH3651 uponH5921 EgyptH4714; whereon ifH2009 a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 intoH935 his handH3709, and pierce it: soH3651 is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto allH3605 that trustH982 on him.

22But ifH3588 ye sayH559 unto meH413, WeH3588 trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is notH3808 that he, whoseH834 highH1116 placesH1116 and whoseH834 altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath takenH5493 awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389?

23NowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 thee, giveH5414 pledges to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, ifH518 thou be ableH3201 on thy partH5921 to setH5414 ridersH7392 uponH5921 them.

24HowH349 then canst thou turnH7725 awayH7725 the faceH6440 of one captain of the least of my master’sH113 servantsH5650, and putH7725 thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?

25Am I nowH6258 comeH5927 upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 againstH5921 this placeH4725 to destroyH7843 it? The LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, GoH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.

26Then saidH559 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, and ShebnahH7644, and JoahH3098, unto RabshakehH7262, SpeakH1696, I prayH4994 thee, to thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian languageH3066; for weH587 understandH8085 it: and speakH1696 notH408 with usH4994 in the Jews’ languageH3066, in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
