Revised Version 1895
2 Kings 19:2-20
2And he sentH7971 EliakimH471, whichH834 was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548, coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, unto IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531.
3And they saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith HezekiahH2396, This dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of troubleH6869, and of rebukeH8433, and of contumely: for the childrenH1121 are comeH935 to the birthH3205, and there is notH369 strengthH3581 to bringH935 forthH3205.
4It may be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whomH834 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430, and will rebukeH3198 the wordsH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath heardH8085: wherefore liftH5375 upH5375 thy prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that is leftH4672.
5SoH935 the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 cameH935 to IsaiahH3470.
6And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to your masterH113, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, Be notH408 afraidH3372 of the wordsH1697 that thou hast heardH8085, wherewith the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 have blasphemedH1442 meH413.
7BeholdH2005, I will putH5414 a spiritH7307 in him, and he shall hearH8085 a rumour, and shall returnH7725 to his own landH776; and I will causeH5414 him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.
8SoH7725 RabshakehH7262 returnedH7725, and foundH4672 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 warring againstH5921 LibnahH3841: for he had heardH8085 that he was departedH5265 from LachishH3923.
9And when he heardH8085 sayH559 of TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of EthiopiaH3568, BeholdH2009, he is comeH3318 outH3318 to fightH3898 againstH413 thee: he sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH7725 unto HezekiahH2396, sayingH559,
10ThusH3541 shall ye speakH559 to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, LetH5414 notH3808 thy GodH430 in whomH834 thou trustest deceiveH5377 thee, sayingH559, JerusalemH3389 shall notH3808 be givenH5414 intoH413 the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
11BeholdH2009, thou hast heardH8085 whatH834 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have doneH6213 to allH3605 landsH776, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be deliveredH5337?
12Have the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 them, whichH834 my fathersH1 have destroyedH7843, GozanH1470, and HaranH2771, and RezephH7530, and the childrenH1121 of Edom whichH834 were in TelassarH8515?
13WhereH335 is the kingH4428 of HamathH2574, and the kingH4428 of ArpadH774, and the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of SepharvaimH5617, of HenaH2012, and IvvahH5755?
14And HezekiahH2396 receivedH3947 the letterH5612 from the handH3027 of the messengersH4397, and readH7121 it: and HezekiahH2396 wentH5927 upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and spreadH6566 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
15And HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that sittest uponH3427 the cherubimH3742, thou art the GodH430, evenH853 thou aloneH905, of allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776.
16InclineH5186 thine earH241, O LORDH3068, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, O LORDH3068, and seeH7200: and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, wherewith he hath sentH7971 him to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430.
17Of a truthH551, LORDH3068, the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have laid waste the nationsH1471 and their landsH776,
18and have castH5414 their godsH430 intoH3027 the fireH784: for they were noH3808 godsH430, but the workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68; therefore they have destroyedH6 them.
19NowH6258 therefore, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, saveH3467 thou usH4994, I beseechH4994 thee, outH3045 of his handH3027, that allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, evenH3588 thou onlyH905.
20Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Whereas thou hast prayedH6419 to meH413 againstH413 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, I have heardH8085 thee.
