2 Kings 18:1--20:21

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>_.
19:1
And it came to pass, when king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>
heard
<08085> (8800)
[it], that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_,
and covered
<03680> (8691)
himself with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
19:2
And he sent
<07971> (8799)
Eliakim
<0471>_,
which [was] over the household
<01004>_,
and Shebna
<07644>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and the elders
<02205>
of the priests
<03548>_,
covered
<03680> (8693)
with sackcloth
<08242>_,
to Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_.
19:3
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Hezekiah
<02396>_,
This day
<03117>
[is] a day
<03117>
of trouble
<06869>_,
and of rebuke
<08433>_,
and blasphemy
<05007>_:
for the children
<01121>
are come
<0935> (8804)
to the birth
<04866>_,
and [there is] not strength
<03581>
to bring forth
<03205> (8800)_.
{blasphemy: or, provocation}
19:4
It may be
<0194>
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
will hear
<08085> (8799)
all the words
<01697>
of Rabshakeh
<07262>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
his master
<0113>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
to reproach
<02778> (8763)
the living
<02416>
God
<0430>_;
and will reprove
<03198> (8689)
the words
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)_:
wherefore lift up
<05375> (8804)
[thy] prayer
<08605>
for the remnant
<07611>
that are left
<04672> (8737)_.
{left: Heb. found}
19:5
So the servants
<05650>
of king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Isaiah
<03470>_.
19:6
And Isaiah
<03470>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
to your master
<0113>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
the words
<01697>
which thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,
with which the servants
<05288>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
have blasphemed
<01442> (8765)
me.
19:7
Behold, I will send
<05414> (8802)
a blast
<07307>
upon him, and he shall hear
<08085> (8804)
a rumour
<08052>_,
and shall return
<07725> (8804)
to his own land
<0776>_;
and I will cause him to fall
<05307> (8689)
by the sword
<02719>
in his own land
<0776>_.
19:8
So Rabshakeh
<07262>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
warring
<03898> (8737)
against Libnah
<03841>_:
for he had heard
<08085> (8804)
that he was departed
<05265> (8804)
from Lachish
<03923>_.
19:9
And when he heard
<08085> (8799)
say
<0559> (8800)
of Tirhakah
<08640>
king
<04428>
of Ethiopia
<03568>_,
Behold, he is come out
<03318> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against thee: he sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
again
<07725> (8799)
unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
19:10
Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)
to Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let not thy God
<0430>
in whom thou trustest
<0982> (8802)
deceive
<05377> (8686)
thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Jerusalem
<03389>
shall not be delivered
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
19:11
Behold, thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)
what the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
have done
<06213> (8804)
to all lands
<0776>_,
by destroying them utterly
<02763> (8687)_:
and shalt thou be delivered
<05337> (8735)_?
19:12
Have the gods
<0430>
of the nations
<01471>
delivered
<05337> (8689)
them which my fathers
<01>
have destroyed
<07843> (8765)_;
[as] Gozan
<01470>_,
and Haran
<02771>_,
and Rezeph
<07530>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Eden
<05729>
which [were] in Thelasar
<08515>_?
19:13
Where [is] the king
<04428>
of Hamath
<02574>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Arpad
<0774>_,
and the king
<04428>
of the city
<05892>
of Sepharvaim
<05617>_,
of Hena
<02012>_,
and Ivah
<05755>_?
19:14
And Hezekiah
<02396>
received
<03947> (8799)
the letter
<05612>
of the hand
<03027>
of the messengers
<04397>_,
and read
<07121> (8799)
it: and Hezekiah
<02396>
went up
<05927> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and spread
<06566> (8799)
it before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
19:15
And Hezekiah
<02396>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which dwellest
<03427> (8802)
[between] the cherubims
<03742>_,
thou art the God
<0430>_,
[even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>_;
thou hast made
<06213> (8804)
heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_.
19:16
LORD
<03068>_,
bow down
<05186> (8685)
thine ear
<0241>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)_:
open
<06491> (8798)_,
LORD
<03068>_,
thine eyes
<05869>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_:
and hear
<08085> (8798)
the words
<01697>
of Sennacherib
<05576>_,
which hath sent
<07971> (8804)
him to reproach
<02778> (8763)
the living
<02416>
God
<0430>_.
19:17
Of a truth
<0551>_,
LORD
<03068>_,
the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
have destroyed
<02717> (8689)
the nations
<01471>
and their lands
<0776>_,
19:18
And have cast
<05414> (8804)
their gods
<0430>
into the fire
<0784>_:
for they [were] no gods
<0430>_,
but the work
<04639>
of men's
<0120>
hands
<03027>_,
wood
<06086>
and stone
<068>_:
therefore they have destroyed
<06> (8762)
them. {cast: Heb. given}
19:19
Now therefore, O LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
I beseech thee, save
<03467> (8685)
thou us out of his hand
<03027>_,
that all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>
may know
<03045> (8799)
that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
[even] thou only.
19:20
Then Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Hezekiah
<02396>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[That] which thou hast prayed
<06419> (8694)
to me against Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
I have heard
<08085> (8804)_.
19:21
This [is] the word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning him; The virgin
<01330>
the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
hath despised
<0959> (8804)
thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn
<03932> (8804)_;
the daughter
<01323>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
hath shaken
<05128> (8689)
her head
<07218>
at thee
<0310>_.
19:22
Whom hast thou reproached
<02778> (8765)
and blasphemed
<01442> (8765)_?
and against whom hast thou exalted
<07311> (8689)
[thy] voice
<06963>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
thine eyes
<05869>
on high
<04791>_?
[even] against the Holy
<06918>
[One] of Israel
<03478>_.
19:23
By
<03027>
thy messengers
<04397>
thou hast reproached
<02778> (8765)
the Lord
<0136>_,
and hast said
<0559> (8799)_,
With the multitude
<07230>
of my chariots
<07393> (8675) <07393>
I am come up
<05927> (8804)
to the height
<04791>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
to the sides
<03411>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
and will cut down
<03772> (8799)
the tall
<06967>
cedar trees
<0730>
thereof, [and] the choice
<04004>
fir trees
<01265>
thereof: and I will enter
<0935> (8799)
into the lodgings
<04411>
of his borders
<07093>_,
[and into] the forest
<03293>
of his Carmel
<03760>_.
{By: Heb. By the hand of} {tall...: Heb. tallness, etc} {of his Carmel: or, and his fruitful field}
19:24
I have digged
<06979> (8804)
and drunk
<08354> (8804)
strange
<02114> (8801)
waters
<04325>_,
and with the sole
<03709>
of my feet
<06471>
have I dried
<02717> (8686)
up all the rivers
<02975>
of besieged places
<04693>_.
{besieged: or, fenced}
19:25
Hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)
long ago
<07350>
[how] I have done
<06213> (8804)
it, [and] of ancient
<06924>
times
<03117>
that I have formed
<03335> (8804)
it? now have I brought
<0935> (8689)
it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste
<07582> (8687)
fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
[into] ruinous
<05327> (8737)
heaps
<01530>_.
{long...: or, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
19:26
Therefore their inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
were of small
<07116>
power
<03027>_,
they were dismayed
<02865> (8804)
and confounded
<0954> (8799)_;
they were [as] the grass
<06212>
of the field
<07704>_,
and [as] the green
<03419>
herb
<01877>_,
[as] the grass
<02682>
on the housetops
<01406>_,
and [as corn] blasted
<07711>
before
<06440>
it be grown up
<07054>_.
{of small...: Heb. short of hand}
19:27
But I know
<03045> (8804)
thy abode
<03427> (8800)_,
and thy going out
<03318> (8800)_,
and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)_,
and thy rage
<07264> (8692)
against me. {abode: or, sitting}
19:28
Because thy rage
<07264> (8692)
against me and thy tumult
<07600>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
into mine ears
<0241>_,
therefore I will put
<07760> (8804)
my hook
<02397>
in thy nose
<0639>_,
and my bridle
<04964>
in thy lips
<08193>_,
and I will turn thee back
<07725> (8689)
by the way
<01870>
by which thou camest
<0935> (8804)_.
19:29
And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto thee, Ye shall eat
<0398> (8800)
this year
<08141>
such things as grow
<05599>
of themselves, and in the second
<08145>
year
<08141>
that which springeth
<07823>
of the same; and in the third
<07992>
year
<08141>
sow
<02232> (8798)
ye, and reap
<07114> (8798)_,
and plant
<05193> (8798)
vineyards
<03754>_,
and eat
<0398> (8798)
the fruits
<06529>
thereof.
19:30
And the remnant
<07604> (8737)
that is escaped
<06413>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
shall yet again
<03254> (8804)
take root
<08328>
downward
<04295>_,
and bear
<06213> (8804)
fruit
<06529>
upward
<04605>_.
{remnant...: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
19:31
For out of Jerusalem
<03389>
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
a remnant
<07611>_,
and they that escape
<06413>
out of mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_:
the zeal
<07068>
of the LORD
<03068>
[of hosts (8675)
<06635>_]
shall do
<06213> (8799)
this. {they...: Heb. the escaping}
19:32
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
concerning the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
He shall not come
<0935> (8799)
into this city
<05892>_,
nor shoot
<03384> (8686)
an arrow
<02671>
there, nor come before
<06923> (8762)
it with shield
<04043>_,
nor cast
<08210> (8799)
a bank
<05550>
against it.
19:33
By the way
<01870>
that he came
<0935> (8799)_,
by the same shall he return
<07725> (8799)_,
and shall not come
<0935> (8799)
into this city
<05892>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
19:34
For I will defend
<01598> (8804)
this city
<05892>_,
to save
<03467> (8687)
it, for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>
David's
<01732>
sake.
19:35
And it came to pass that night
<03915>_,
that the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
in the camp
<04264>
of the Assyrians
<0804>
an hundred
<03967>
fourscore
<08084>
and five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>_:
and when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, they [were] all dead
<04191> (8801)
corpses
<06297>_.
19:36
So Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
departed
<05265> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
and returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
at Nineveh
<05210>_.
19:37
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
<07812> (8693)
in the house
<01004>
of Nisroch
<05268>
his god
<0430>_,
that Adrammelech
<0152>
and Sharezer
<08272>
his sons
<01121>
smote
<05221> (8689)
him with the sword
<02719>_:
and they escaped
<04422> (8738)
into the land
<0776>
of Armenia
<0780>_.
And Esarhaddon
<0634>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}
20:1
In those days
<03117>
was Hezekiah
<02396>
sick
<02470> (8804)
unto death
<04191> (8800)_.
And the prophet
<05030>
Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
came
<0935> (8799)
to him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Set thine house
<01004>
in order
<06680> (8761)_;
for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,
and not live
<02421> (8799)_.
{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house}
20:2
Then he turned
<05437> (8686)
his face
<06440>
to the wall
<07023>_,
and prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
20:3
I beseech
<0577>
thee, O LORD
<03068>_,
remember
<02142> (8798)
now how I have walked
<01980> (8694)
before
<06440>
thee in truth
<0571>
and with a perfect
<08003>
heart
<03824>_,
and have done
<06213> (8804)
[that which is] good
<02896>
in thy sight
<05869>_.
And Hezekiah
<02396>
wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>
sore
<01419>_.
{sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
20:4
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah
<03470>
was gone out
<03318> (8804)
into the middle
<08484>
court
<02691> (8675) <05892>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{court: or, city}
20:5
Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,
and tell
<0559> (8804)
Hezekiah
<02396>
the captain
<05057>
of my people
<05971>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_,
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
thy prayer
<08605>_,
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
thy tears
<01832>_:
behold, I will heal
<07495> (8802)
thee: on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>
thou shalt go up
<05927> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
20:6
And I will add
<03254> (8689)
unto thy days
<03117>
fifteen
<02568> <06240>
years
<08141>_;
and I will deliver
<05337> (8686)
thee and this city
<05892>
out of the hand
<03709>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_;
and I will defend
<01598> (8804)
this city
<05892>
for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>
David's
<01732>
sake.
20:7
And Isaiah
<03470>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
a lump
<01690>
of figs
<08384>_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
and laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] on the boil
<07822>_,
and he recovered
<02421> (8799)_.
20:8
And Hezekiah
<02396>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Isaiah
<03470>_,
What [shall be] the sign
<0226>
that the LORD
<03068>
will heal
<07495> (8799)
me, and that I shall go up
<05927> (8804)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_?
20:9
And Isaiah
<03470>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
This sign
<0226>
shalt thou have of the LORD
<03068>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
will do
<06213> (8799)
the thing
<01697>
that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:
shall the shadow
<06738>
go forward
<01980> (8804)
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>_,
or go back
<07725> (8799)
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>_?
20:10
And Hezekiah
<03169>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)
for the shadow
<06738>
to go down
<05186> (8800)
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>_:
nay, but let the shadow
<06738>
return
<07725> (8799)
backward
<0322>
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>_.
20:11
And Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>
cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
and he brought
<07725> (8686)
the shadow
<06738>
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>
backward
<0322>_,
by
<04609>
which it had gone down
<03381> (8804)
in the dial
<04609>
of Ahaz
<0271>_.
{dial: Heb. degrees}
20:12
At that time
<06256>
Berodachbaladan
<01255>_,
the son
<01121>
of Baladan
<01081>_,
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
sent
<07971> (8804)
letters
<05612>
and a present
<04503>
unto Hezekiah
<02396>_:
for he had heard
<08085> (8804)
that Hezekiah
<02396>
had been sick
<02470> (8804)_.
{Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan}
20:13
And Hezekiah
<02396>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto them, and shewed
<07200> (8686)
them all the house
<01004>
of his precious things
<05238>_,
the silver
<03701>_,
and the gold
<02091>_,
and the spices
<01314>_,
and the precious
<02896>
ointment
<08081>_,
and [all] the house
<01004>
of his armour
<03627>_,
and all that was found
<04672> (8738)
in his treasures
<0214>_:
there was nothing
<01697>
in his house
<01004>_,
nor in all his dominion
<04475>_,
that Hezekiah
<02396>
shewed
<07200> (8689)
them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels}
20:14
Then came
<0935> (8799)
Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>
unto king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What said
<0559> (8804)
these men
<0582>_?
and from whence
<0370>
came
<0935> (8799)
they unto thee? And Hezekiah
<02396>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They are come
<0935> (8804)
from a far
<07350>
country
<0776>_,
[even] from Babylon
<0894>_.
20:15
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What have they seen
<07200> (8804)
in thine house
<01004>_?
And Hezekiah
<02396>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
All [the things] that [are] in mine house
<01004>
have they seen
<07200> (8804)_:
there is nothing
<01697>
among my treasures
<0214>
that I have not shewed
<07200> (8689)
them.
20:16
And Isaiah
<03470>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
20:17
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that all that [is] in thine house
<01004>_,
and that which thy fathers
<01>
have laid up in store
<0686> (8804)
unto this day
<03117>_,
shall be carried
<05375> (8738)
into Babylon
<0894>_:
nothing
<01697>
shall be left
<03498> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
20:18
And of thy sons
<01121>
that shall issue
<03318> (8799)
from thee, which thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)_,
shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_;
and they shall be eunuchs
<05631>
in the palace
<01964>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
20:19
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Hezekiah
<02396>
unto Isaiah
<03470>_,
Good
<02896>
[is] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is it] not [good], if peace
<07965>
and truth
<0571>
be in my days
<03117>_?
{Is it...: or, Shall there not be peace and truth, etc}
20:20
And the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Hezekiah
<02396>_,
and all his might
<01369>_,
and how he made
<06213> (8804)
a pool
<01295>_,
and a conduit
<08585>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
water
<04325>
into the city
<05892>_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
20:21
And Hezekiah
<02396>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_:
and Manasseh
<04519>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
