2 Kings 18:5

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.

2 Kings 18:19-37

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>_.
