2 Kings 18:14-17
18:14 King Hezekiah of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria, who was at Lachish, “I have violated our treaty.
If you leave, I will do whatever you demand.”
So the king of Assyria demanded that King Hezekiah of Judah pay three hundred talents
of silver and thirty talents of gold.
18:15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver in
the
Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
18:16 At that time King Hezekiah of Judah stripped the metal overlays from the doors of the
Lord’s temple and from the posts which he had plated
and gave them to the king of Assyria.
18:17 The king of Assyria sent his commanding general, the chief eunuch, and the chief adviser from Lachish to King Hezekiah in Jerusalem, along with a large army. They went up and arrived at Jerusalem. They went and stood at the conduit of the upper pool which is located on the road to the field where they wash and dry cloth.
