2 Kings 17:1--18:37

17:1

In the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

of Ahaz
<0271>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Hoshea
<01954>

the son
<01121>

of Elah
<0425>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>

over Israel
<03478>

nine
<08672>

years
<08141>_.

17:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but not as the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

that were before
<06440>

him.

17:3

Against him came up
<05927> (8804)

Shalmaneser
<08022>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_;

and Hoshea
<01954>

became his servant
<05650>_,

and gave
<07725> (8686)

him presents
<04503>_.

{gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}

17:4

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

found
<04672> (8799)

conspiracy
<07195>

in Hoshea
<01954>_:

for he had sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to So
<05471>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and brought
<05927> (8689)

no present
<04503>

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

as [he had done] year
<08141>

by year
<08141>_:

therefore the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

shut him up
<06113> (8799)_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him in prison
<01004> <03608>_.

{present: or, tribute}

17:5

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came up
<05927> (8799)

throughout all the land
<0776>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_,

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

it three
<07969>

years
<08141>_.

17:6

In the ninth
<08671>

year
<08141>

of Hoshea
<01954>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

took
<03920> (8804)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and carried
<01540> (0)

Israel
<03478>

away
<01540> (8686)

into Assyria
<0804>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

them in Halah
<02477>

and in Habor
<02249>

[by] the river
<05104>

of Gozan
<01470>_,

and in the cities
<05892>

of the Medes
<04074>_.

17:7

For [so] it was, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

had sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

which had brought them up
<05927> (8688)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from under the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and had feared
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

17:8

And walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they had made
<06213> (8804)_.

17:9

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did secretly
<02644> (8762)

[those] things
<01697>

that [were] not right against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and they built
<01129> (8799)

them high places
<01116>

in all their cities
<05892>_,

from the tower
<04026>

of the watchmen
<05341> (8802)

to the fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_.

17:10

And they set them up
<05324> (8686)

images
<04676>

and groves
<0842>

in every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_:

{images: Heb. statues}

17:11

And there they burnt incense
<06999> (8762)

in all the high places
<01116>_,

as [did] the heathen
<01471>

whom the LORD
<03068>

carried away
<01540> (8689)

before
<06440>

them; and wrought
<06213> (8799)

wicked
<07451>

things
<01697>

to provoke the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8687)_:

17:12

For they served
<05647> (8799)

idols
<01544>_,

whereof the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Ye shall not do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

17:13

Yet the LORD
<03068>

testified
<05749> (8686)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and against Judah
<03063>_,

by
<03027>

all the prophets
<05030>_,

[and by] all the seers
<02374>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye from your evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

my commandments
<04687>

[and] my statutes
<02708>_,

according to all the law
<08451>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

your fathers
<01>_,

and which I sent
<07971> (8804)

to you by
<03027>

my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

17:14

Notwithstanding they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_,

but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

like to the neck
<06203>

of their fathers
<01>_,

that did not believe
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

17:15

And they rejected
<03988> (8799)

his statutes
<02706>_,

and his covenant
<01285>

that he made
<03772> (8804)

with their fathers
<01>_,

and his testimonies
<05715>

which he testified
<05749> (8689)

against them; and they followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

vanity
<01892>_,

and became vain
<01891> (8799)_,

and went after
<0310>

the heathen
<01471>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them, [concerning] whom the LORD
<03068>

had charged
<06680> (8765)

them, that they should not do
<06213> (8800)

like them.

17:16

And they left
<05800> (8799)

all the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

them molten images
<04541>_,

[even] two
<08147>

calves
<05695>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>_.

17:17

And they caused their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

to pass
<05674> (8686)

through the fire
<0784>_,

and used
<07080> (8799)

divination
<07081>

and enchantments
<05172> (8762)_,

and sold
<04376> (8691)

themselves to do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

17:18

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

was very
<03966>

angry
<0599> (8691)

with Israel
<03478>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

them out of his sight
<06440>_:

there was none left
<07604> (8738)

but the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

only.

17:19

Also Judah
<03063>

kept
<08104> (8804)

not the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of Israel
<03478>

which they made
<06213> (8804)_.

17:20

And the LORD
<03068>

rejected
<03988> (8799)

all the seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8762)

them, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of spoilers
<08154> (8802)_,

until he had cast
<07993> (8689)

them out of his sight
<06440>_.

17:21

For he rent
<07167> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

from the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_;

and they made Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>

king
<04427> (8686)_:

and Jeroboam
<03379>

drave
<05080> (8686) (8675) <05077> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made them sin
<02398> (8689)

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_.

17:22

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_;

they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from them;

17:23

Until the LORD
<03068>

removed
<05493> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of his sight
<06440>_,

as he had said
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

all his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

So was Israel
<03478>

carried away
<01540> (8799)

out of their own land
<0127>

to Assyria
<0804>

unto this day
<03117>_.

17:24

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

brought
<0935> (8686)

[men] from Babylon
<0894>_,

and from Cuthah
<03575>_,

and from Ava
<05755>_,

and from Hamath
<02574>_,

and from Sepharvaim
<05617>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

[them] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>

instead of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and they possessed
<03423> (8799)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the cities
<05892>

thereof.

17:25

And [so] it was at the beginning
<08462>

of their dwelling
<03427> (8800)

there, [that] they feared
<03372> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, which slew
<02026> (8802)

[some] of them.

17:26

Wherefore they spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The nations
<01471>

which thou hast removed
<01540> (8689)_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

know
<03045> (8804)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_:

therefore he hath sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, and, behold, they slay
<04191> (8688)

them, because they know
<03045> (8802)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

17:27

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

commanded
<06680> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Carry
<03212> (8685)

thither one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom ye brought
<01540> (8689)

from thence; and let them go
<03212> (8799)

and dwell
<03427> (8799)

there, and let him teach
<03384> (8686)

them the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

17:28

Then one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom they had carried away
<01540> (8689)

from Samaria
<08111>

came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and taught
<03384> (8688)

them how they should fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_.

17:29

Howbeit every nation
<01471>

made
<06213> (8802)

gods
<0430>

of their own, and put
<03240> (8686)

[them] in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>

which the Samaritans
<08118>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

every nation
<01471>

in their cities
<05892>

wherein they dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

17:30

And the men
<0582>

of Babylon
<0894>

made
<06213> (8804)

Succothbenoth
<05524>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Cuth
<03575>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nergal
<05370>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Hamath
<02574>

made
<06213> (8804)

Ashima
<0807>_,

17:31

And the Avites
<05757>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nibhaz
<05026>

and Tartak
<08662>_,

and the Sepharvites
<05616>

burnt
<08313> (8802)

their children
<01121>

in fire
<0784>

to Adrammelech
<0152>

and Anammelech
<06048>_,

the gods
<0430>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_.

17:32

So they feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

unto themselves of the lowest
<07098>

of them priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_,

which sacrificed
<06213> (8802)

for them in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>_.

17:33

They feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their own gods
<0430>_,

after the manner
<04941>

of the nations
<01471>

whom they carried away
<01540> (8689)

from thence. {whom...: or, who carried them away from thence}

17:34

Unto this day
<03117>

they do
<06213> (8802)

after the former
<07223>

manners
<04941>_:

they fear
<03373>

not the LORD
<03068>_,

neither do
<06213> (8802)

they after their statutes
<02708>_,

or after their ordinances
<04941>_,

or after the law
<08451>

and commandment
<04687>

which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

the children
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

whom he named
<07760> (8804) <08034>

Israel
<03478>_;

17:35

With whom the LORD
<03068>

had made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

and charged
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

nor bow
<07812> (8691)

yourselves to them, nor serve
<05647> (8799)

them, nor sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

to them:

17:36

But the LORD
<03068>_,

who brought you up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

with great
<01419>

power
<03581>

and a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

him shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and him shall ye worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_.

17:37

And the statutes
<02706>_,

and the ordinances
<04941>_,

and the law
<08451>_,

and the commandment
<04687>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

for you, ye shall observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

for evermore
<03117>_;

and ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:38

And the covenant
<01285>

that I have made
<03772> (8804)

with you ye shall not forget
<07911> (8799)_;

neither shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:39

But the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

ye shall fear
<03372> (8799)_;

and he shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of all your enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

17:40

Howbeit they did not hearken
<08085> (8804)_,

but they did
<06213> (8802)

after their former
<07223>

manner
<04941>_.

17:41

So these nations
<01471>

feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their graven images
<06456>_,

both their children
<01121>_,

and their children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_:

as did
<06213> (8804)

their fathers
<01>_,

so do
<06213> (8802)

they unto this day
<03117>_.

18:1

Now it came to pass in the third
<07969>

year
<08141>

of Hoshea
<01954>

son
<01121>

of Elah
<0425>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[that] Hezekiah
<02396>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaz
<0271>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

{Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias}

18:2

Twenty
<06242>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

was he when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

twenty
<06242>

and nine
<08672>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

His mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

also [was] Abi
<021>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Zachariah
<02148>_.

{Abi: also called, Abijah}

18:3

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that David
<01732>

his father
<01>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

18:4

He removed
<05493> (8689)

the high places
<01116>_,

and brake
<07665> (8765)

the images
<04676>_,

and cut down
<03772> (8804)

the groves
<0842>_,

and brake in pieces
<03807> (8765)

the brasen
<05178>

serpent
<05175>

that Moses
<04872>

had made
<06213> (8804)_:

for unto those days
<03117>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did burn incense
<06999> (8764)

to it: and he called
<07121> (8799)

it Nehushtan
<05180>_.

{images: Heb. statues} {Nehushtan: that is, A piece of brass}

18:5

He trusted
<0982> (8804)

in the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

so that after
<0310>

him was none like him among all the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

nor [any] that were before
<06440>

him.

18:6

For he clave
<01692> (8799)

to the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] departed
<05493> (8804)

not from following
<0310>

him, but kept
<08104> (8799)

his commandments
<04687>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Moses
<04872>_.

{from...: Heb. from after him}

18:7

And the LORD
<03068>

was with him; [and] he prospered
<07919> (8686)

whithersoever he went forth
<03318> (8799)_:

and he rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and served
<05647> (8804)

him not.

18:8

He smote
<05221> (8689)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

[even] unto Gaza
<05804>_,

and the borders
<01366>

thereof, from the tower
<04026>

of the watchmen
<05341> (8802)

to the fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_.

{Gaza: Heb. Azzah}

18:9

And it came to pass in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

which [was] the seventh
<07637>

year
<08141>

of Hoshea
<01954>

son
<01121>

of Elah
<0425>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[that] Shalmaneser
<08022>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against Samaria
<08111>_,

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

it.

18:10

And at the end
<07097>

of three
<07969>

years
<08141>

they took
<03920> (8799)

it: [even] in the sixth
<08337>

year
<08141>

of Hezekiah
<02396>_,

that [is] the ninth
<08672>

year
<08141>

of Hoshea
<01954>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Samaria
<08111>

was taken
<03920> (8738)_.

18:11

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

did carry away
<01540> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

unto Assyria
<0804>_,

and put
<05148> (8686)

them in Halah
<02477>

and in Habor
<02249>

[by] the river
<05104>

of Gozan
<01470>_,

and in the cities
<05892>

of the Medes
<04074>_:

18:12

Because they obeyed
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

but transgressed
<05674> (8799)

his covenant
<01285>_,

[and] all that Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

and would not hear
<08085> (8804)

[them], nor do
<06213> (8804)

[them].

18:13

Now in the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>

did Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

come up
<05927> (8804)

against all the fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and took
<08610> (8799)

them. {Sennacherib: Heb. Sanherib}

18:14

And Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

to Lachish
<03923>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I have offended
<02398> (8804)_;

return
<07725> (8798)

from me: that which thou puttest
<05414> (8799)

on me will I bear
<05375> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

appointed
<07760> (8799)

unto Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>

and thirty
<07970>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_.

18:15

And Hezekiah
<02396>

gave
<05414> (8799)

[him] all the silver
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_.

18:16

At that time
<06256>

did Hezekiah
<02396>

cut off
<07112> (8765)

[the gold from] the doors
<01817>

of the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and [from] the pillars
<0547>

which Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

had overlaid
<06823> (8765)_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

it to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

{it: Heb. them}

18:17

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Tartan
<08661>

and Rabsaris
<07249>

and Rabshakeh
<07262>

from Lachish
<03923>

to king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>

with a great
<03515>

host
<02426>

against Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And they went up
<05927> (8799)

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And when they were come up
<05927> (8799)_,

they came
<0935> (8799)

and stood
<05975> (8799)

by the conduit
<08585>

of the upper
<05945>

pool
<01295>_,

which [is] in the highway
<04546>

of the fuller's
<03526> (8801)

field
<07704>_.

{great: Heb. heavy}

18:18

And when they had called
<07121> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

there came out
<03318> (8799)

to them Eliakim
<0471>

the son
<01121>

of Hilkiah
<02518>_,

which [was] over the household
<01004>_,

and Shebna
<07644>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Joah
<03098>

the son
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>

the recorder
<02142> (8688)_.

{scribe: or, secretary}

18:19

And Rabshakeh
<07262>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Speak
<0559> (8798)

ye now to Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the great
<01419>

king
<04428>_,

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

What confidence
<0986>

[is] this wherein thou trustest
<0982> (8804)_?

18:20

Thou sayest
<0559> (8804)_,

(but [they are but] vain
<08193>

words
<01697>,)

[I have] counsel
<06098>

and strength
<01369>

for the war
<04421>_.

Now on whom dost thou trust
<0982> (8804)_,

that thou rebellest
<04775> (8804)

against me? {sayest: or, talkest} {vain...: Heb. word of the lips} {I have...: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}

18:21

Now, behold, thou trustest
<0982> (8804)

upon the staff
<04938>

of this bruised
<07533> (8803)

reed
<07070>_,

[even] upon Egypt
<04714>_,

on which if a man
<0376>

lean
<05564> (8735)_,

it will go
<0935> (8804)

into his hand
<03709>_,

and pierce
<05344> (8804)

it: so [is] Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto all that trust
<0982> (8802)

on him. {trustest: Heb. trustest thee}

18:22

But if ye say
<0559> (8799)

unto me, We trust
<0982> (8804)

in the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_:

[is] not that he, whose high places
<01116>

and whose altars
<04196>

Hezekiah
<02396>

hath taken away
<05493> (8689)_,

and hath said
<0559> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Ye shall worship
<07812> (8691)

before
<06440>

this altar
<04196>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_?

18:23

Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges
<06148> (8690)

to my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and I will deliver
<05414> (8799)

thee two thousand
<0505>

horses
<05483>_,

if thou be able
<03201> (8799)

on thy part to set
<05414> (8800)

riders
<07392> (8802)

upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}

18:24

How then wilt thou turn away
<07725> (8686)

the face
<06440>

of one
<0259>

captain
<06346>

of the least
<06996>

of my master's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

and put thy trust
<0982> (8799)

on Egypt
<04714>

for chariots
<07393>

and for horsemen
<06571>_?

18:25

Am I now come up
<05927> (8804)

without
<01107>

the LORD
<03068>

against this place
<04725>

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

it? The LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

to me, Go up
<05927> (8798)

against this land
<0776>_,

and destroy
<07843> (8685)

it.

18:26

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Eliakim
<0471>

the son
<01121>

of Hilkiah
<02518>_,

and Shebna
<07644>_,

and Joah
<03098>_,

unto Rabshakeh
<07262>_,

Speak
<01696> (8761)_,

I pray thee, to thy servants
<05650>

in the Syrian language
<0762>_;

for we understand
<08085> (8802)

[it]: and talk
<01696> (8762)

not with us in the Jews' language
<03066>

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>

that [are] on the wall
<02346>_.

18:27

But Rabshakeh
<07262>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Hath my master
<0113>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me to thy master
<0113>_,

and to thee, to speak
<01696> (8763)

these words
<01697>_?

[hath he] not [sent me] to the men
<0582>

which sit
<03427> (8802)

on the wall
<02346>_,

that they may eat
<0398> (8800)

their own dung
<06675> (8675) <02755>_,

and drink
<08354> (8800)

their own piss
<04325> <07272> (8675) <07890>

with you? {their own piss: Heb. the water of their feet}

18:28

Then Rabshakeh
<07262>

stood
<05975> (8799)

and cried
<07121> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>

in the Jews' language
<03066>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the great
<01419>

king
<04428>_,

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_:

18:29

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

Let not Hezekiah
<02396>

deceive
<05377> (8686)

you: for he shall not be able
<03201> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

you out of his hand
<03027>_:

18:30

Neither let Hezekiah
<02396>

make you trust
<0982> (8686)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

will surely
<05337> (8687)

deliver
<05337> (8686)

us, and this city
<05892>

shall not be delivered
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

18:31

Hearken
<08085> (8799)

not to Hezekiah
<02396>_:

for thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

Make
<06213> (8798)

[an agreement] with me by a present
<01293>_,

and come out
<03318> (8798)

to me, and [then] eat
<0398> (8798)

ye every man
<0376>

of his own vine
<01612>_,

and every one
<0376>

of his fig tree
<08384>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

ye every one
<0376>

the waters
<04325>

of his cistern
<0953>_:

{Make...: or, Seek my favour: Heb. Make with me a blessing} {cistern: or, pit}

18:32

Until I come
<0935> (8800)

and take you away
<03947> (8804)

to a land
<0776>

like your own land
<0776>_,

a land
<0776>

of corn
<01715>

and wine
<08492>_,

a land
<0776>

of bread
<03899>

and vineyards
<03754>_,

a land
<0776>

of oil
<03323>

olive
<02132>

and of honey
<01706>_,

that ye may live
<02421> (8798)_,

and not die
<04191> (8799)_:

and hearken
<08085> (8799)

not unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,

when he persuadeth
<05496> (8686)

you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

will deliver
<05337> (8686)

us. {persuadeth: or, deceiveth}

18:33

Hath any
<0376>

of the gods
<0430>

of the nations
<01471>

delivered
<05337> (8689)

at all
<05337> (8687)

his land
<0776>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_?

18:34

Where [are] the gods
<0430>

of Hamath
<02574>_,

and of Arpad
<0774>_?

where [are] the gods
<0430>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_,

Hena
<02012>_,

and Ivah
<05755>_?

have they delivered
<05337> (8689)

Samaria
<08111>

out of mine hand
<03027>_?

18:35

Who [are] they among all the gods
<0430>

of the countries
<0776>_,

that have delivered
<05337> (8689)

their country
<0776>

out of mine hand
<03027>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

should deliver
<05337> (8686)

Jerusalem
<03389>

out of mine hand
<03027>_?

18:36

But the people
<05971>

held their peace
<02790> (8689)_,

and answered
<06030> (8804)

him not a word
<01697>_:

for the king's
<04428>

commandment
<04687>

was, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Answer
<06030> (8799)

him not.

18:37

Then came
<0935> (8799)

Eliakim
<0471>

the son
<01121>

of Hilkiah
<02518>_,

which [was] over the household
<01004>_,

and Shebna
<07644>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Joah
<03098>

the son
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>

the recorder
<02142> (8688)_,

to Hezekiah
<02396>

with [their] clothes
<0899>

rent
<07167> (8803)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him the words
<01697>

of Rabshakeh
<07262>_.
