2 Kings 18:13-20
13Now in the fourteenthH702H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against all the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them.1 14And HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to LachishH3923, sayingH559, I have offendedH2398; withdrawH7725 from me: that which thou puttestH5414 on me I will bearH5375. And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 appointedH7760 to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and thirtyH7970 talentsH3603 of goldH2091. 15And HezekiahH2396 gaveH5414 him all the silverH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004. 16At that timeH6256 did HezekiahH2396 cut offH7112 the gold from the doorsH1817 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and from the pillarsH547 which HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had overlaidH6823, and gaveH5414 it to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.2
17And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 TartanH8661 and RabsarisH7249 and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426 against JerusalemH3389. And they went upH5927 and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they had come upH5927, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, which is in the highwayH4546 of the fuller’sH3526 fieldH7704.3 18And when they had calledH7121 to the kingH4428, there came outH3318 to them EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, who was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142.4 19And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 to them, SpeakH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this in which thou trustestH982? 20Thou sayestH559, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697,) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. Now in whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me?567
