2 Kings 18:1-35

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}
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}
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)_.
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}
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.
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}
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.
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}
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.
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)_.
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>_:
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].
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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)_?
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}
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}
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>_?
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}
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>_?
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.
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>_.
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}
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>_:
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>_:
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_?
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>_?
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>_?
