Chapter 18

1 NOW in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Ahi, the daughter of Zechariah.

3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

4 He removed the high places and broke the images and cut down the idols and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for the children of Israel had gone astray after it, and until those days they did burn incense to it; and they called it Nehushtan.

5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah nor among those who were before him.

6 For he held fast to the LORD and turned not aside from following him, but kept his commandments, according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

7 And the LORD was with him; and wherever he went forth he conquered; and he rebelled against the king of Assyria and served him not.

8 He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

10 And at the end of three years he took it, even in the sixth year of Hezekiah; that is, in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

11 And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, the cities of Media,

12 Because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded them, and would not hearken nor do them.

13 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from attacking me; and whatever tribute you lay on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria imposed upon Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king's house.

16 At that time Hezekiah stripped off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

17 Then the king of Assyria sent Tartan and the Rab-shakeh and Rab-sisak from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. And they came up against Jerusalem, and when they were come up they stood by the ascent of the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the palace's field.

18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was the steward of the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

19 Then the Rab-shakeh said to them, Speak now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which you trust?

20 You have said that you are a good speaker and that you have counsel and strength for war. Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

21 Now, behold, you have trusted upon the staff of the broken reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

22 But if you say to me, We trust in the LORD our God; is it not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall worship before a single altar in Jerusalem?

23 Now therefore, make an alliance with my lord the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you have riders to set upon them.

24 How then will you refuse the request of one of the least nobles of my master's servants and put your trust in the Egyptian to give you chariots and horsemen?

25 And now perhaps you think that I have come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

26 Then said Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah to Rab-shakeh, Speak to your servants in the Aramaic; for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language in the presence of the people who are on the wall.

27 But the Rab-shakeh said to them, It was not to you and to your master that my master has sent me to speak these words, but to the men who are sitting on the wall, that they may not eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you.

28 Then the Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria;

29 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he shall not be able to deliver you out of my hands;

30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

31 Do not hearken to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat every one of you of his own vine and of his own fig tree and drink every one the waters of his own cistern,

32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of many kinds of fruit trees, a land of grain and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of fatness and of honey, that you may live and not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah, and let not Hezekiah deceive you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

33 Has any of the gods of the nations been able to deliver his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvim, Dena, and Ivah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hands?

35 Who are there among all the gods of these nations that have delivered their country out of my hands, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hands?

36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king had commanded, saying, Do not answer him.

37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, the steward of the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of the Rab-shakeh.

Chapter 18

1 Now it came1961 to pass in the third7969 year8141 of Hoshea1954 son1121 of Elah425 king4428 of Israel,3478 that Hezekiah2396 the son1121 of Ahaz271 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

2 Twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old1121 was he when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 twenty6242 and nine8672 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 His mother's517 name8034 also was Abi,21 the daughter1323 of Zachariah.2148

3 And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all3605 that David1732 his father1 did.6213

4 He removed5493 the high1116 places, and broke7665 the images,4676 and cut3772 down the groves,842 and broke3807 in pieces the brazen5178 serpent5175 that Moses4872 had made:6213 for to those1992 days3117 the children1121 of Israel3478 did burn6999 incense6999 to it: and he called7121 it Nehushtan.5180

5 He trusted982 in the LORD3068 God430 of Israel;3478 so that after310 him was none3808 like3644 him among all3605 the kings4428 of Judah,3063 nor any that were before6440 him.

6 For he held1692 to the LORD,3068 and departed5493 not from following310 him, but kept8104 his commandments,4687 which834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses.4872

7 And the LORD3068 was with him; and he prospered7919 wherever3605 834 he went3318 forth:3318 and he rebelled4775 against the king4428 of Assyria,804 and served5647 him not.

8 He smote5221 the Philistines,6430 even to Gaza,5804 and the borders1366 thereof, from the tower4026 of the watchmen5341 to the fenced4013 city.5892

9 And it came1961 to pass in the fourth7243 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah,2396 which1958 was the seventh7651 year8141 of Hoshea1954 son1121 of Elah425 king4428 of Israel,3478 that Shalmaneser8022 king4428 of Assyria804 came5927 up against5921 Samaria,8111 and besieged6696 it.

10 And at the end7097 of three7969 years8141 they took3920 it: even in the sixth8337 year8141 of Hezekiah,2396 that is in the ninth8672 year8141 of Hoshea1954 king4428 of Israel,3478 Samaria8111 was taken.3920

11 And the king4428 of Assyria804 did carry1540 away1540 Israel3478 to Assyria,804 and put5148 them in Halah2477 and in Habor2249 by the river5104 of Gozan,1470 and in the cities5892 of the Medes:4074

12 Because3282 834 they obeyed8085 not the voice6963 of the LORD3068 their God,430 but transgressed5674 his covenant,1285 and all3605 that Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded,6680 and would not hear8085 them, nor3808 do6213 them.

13 Now in the fourteenth702 6240 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah2396 did Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria804 come5927 up against5921 all3605 the fenced1219 cities5892 of Judah,3063 and took8610 them.

14 And Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 sent7971 to the king4428 of Assyria804 to Lachish,3923 saying,559 I have offended;2398 return7725 from me: that which834 you put5414 on5921 me will I bear.5375 And the king4428 of Assyria804 appointed7760 to Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 three7969 hundred3967 talents3603 of silver3701 and thirty7970 talents3603 of gold.2091

15 And Hezekiah2396 gave5414 him all3605 the silver3701 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house.1004

16 At that time6256 did Hezekiah2396 cut7112 off the gold from the doors1817 of the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 and from the pillars547 which834 Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 had overlaid,6823 and gave5414 it to the king4428 of Assyria.804

17 And the king4428 of Assyria804 sent7971 Tartan8661 and Rabsaris7249 and Rabshakeh7262 from Lachish3923 to king4428 Hezekiah2396 with a great3515 host2426 against Jerusalem.3389 And they went5927 up and came935 to Jerusalem.3389 And when they were come5927 up, they came935 and stood5975 by the conduit8585 of the upper5945 pool,1295 which834 is in the highway4546 of the fuller's3526 field.7704

18 And when they had called7121 to the king,4428 there came3318 out to them Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 which834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah3098 the son1121 of Asaph623 the recorder.2142

19 And Rabshakeh7262 said559 to them, Speak559 you now4994 to Hezekiah,2396 Thus3541 said559 the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria,804 What4100 confidence986 is this2088 wherein834 you trust?982

20 You say,559 (but they are but vain8193 words,)1697 I have counsel6098 and strength1369 for the war.4421 Now6258 on5921 whom4310 do you trust,982 that you rebel4775 against me?

21 Now,6258 behold,2009 you trust982 on the staff4938 of this2088 bruised7533 reed,7070 even on Egypt,4714 on5921 which834 if834 a man376 lean,5564 it will go935 into his hand,3709 and pierce5344 it: so3651 is Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714 to all3605 that trust982 on5921 him.

22 But if3588 you say559 to me, We trust982 in the LORD3068 our God:430 is not that he, whose834 853 high1116 places and whose853 altars4196 Hezekiah2396 has taken5493 away,5493 and has said559 to Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 You shall worship7812 before6440 this2088 altar4196 in Jerusalem?3389

23 Now6258 therefore, I pray4994 you, give pledges6148 to my lord113 the king4428 of Assyria,804 and I will deliver5414 you two thousand505 horses,5483 if518 you be able3201 on your part to set5414 riders7392 on them.

24 How349 then will you turn7725 away the face6440 of one259 captain6346 of the least6996 of my master's113 servants,5650 and put your trust982 on5921 Egypt4714 for chariots7393 and for horsemen?6571

25 Am I now6258 come5927 up without1107 the LORD3068 against5921 this2088 place4725 to destroy7843 it? The LORD3068 said559 to me, Go5927 up against5921 this2063 land,776 and destroy7843 it.

26 Then said559 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 and Shebna,7644 and Joah,3098 to Rabshakeh,7262 Speak,1696 I pray4994 you, to your servants5650 in the Syrian762 language; for we understand8085 it: and talk1696 not with us in the Jews'3066 language in the ears241 of the people5971 that are on5921 the wall.2346

27 But Rabshakeh7262 said559 to them, Has my master113 sent7971 me to your master,113 and to you, to speak1696 these428 words?1697 has he not sent me to the men582 which sit3427 on5921 the wall,2346 that they may eat398 their own dung,2716 and drink8354 their own urine7890 with you?

28 Then Rabshakeh7262 stood5975 and cried7121 with a loud1419 voice6963 in the Jews'3066 language, and spoke,1696 saying,559 Hear8085 the word1697 of the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria:804

29 Thus3541 said559 the king,4428 Let not Hezekiah2396 deceive5377 you: for he shall not be able3201 to deliver5337 you out of his hand:3027

30 Neither408 let Hezekiah2396 make you trust982 in the LORD,3068 saying,559 The LORD3068 will surely deliver5337 us, and this2063 city5892 shall not be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Assyria.804

31 Listen8085 not to Hezekiah:2396 for thus3541 said559 the king4428 of Assyria,804 Make6213 an agreement with me by a present,1293 and come3318 out to me, and then eat398 you every man376 of his own vine,1612 and every376 one376 of his fig8384 tree, and drink8354 you every376 one376 the waters4325 of his cistern:953

32 Until5704 I come935 and take3947 you away to a land776 like your own land,776 a land776 of corn1715 and wine,8492 a land776 of bread3899 and vineyards,3754 a land776 of oil3323 olive2132 and of honey,1706 that you may live,2421 and not die:4191 and listen8085 not to Hezekiah,2396 when3588 he persuades5496 you, saying,559 The LORD3068 will deliver5337 us.

33 Has any376 of the gods430 of the nations1471 delivered5337 at all his land776 out of the hand3027 of the king4428 of Assyria?804

34 Where346 are the gods430 of Hamath,2574 and of Arpad?774 where346 are the gods430 of Sepharvaim,5617 Hena,2012 and Ivah?5755 have they delivered5337 Samaria8111 out of my hand?3027

35 Who4310 are they among all3605 the gods430 of the countries,776 that have delivered5337 their country776 out of my hand,3027 that the LORD3068 should deliver5337 Jerusalem3389 out of my hand?3027

36 But the people5971 held2790 their peace,2790 and answered6030 him not a word:1697 for the king's4428 commandment4687 was, saying,559 Answer6030 him not.

37 Then came935 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 which834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah3098 the son1121 of Asaph623 the recorder,2142 to Hezekiah2396 with their clothes899 rent,7167 and told5046 him the words1697 of Rabshakeh.7262

1 NOW in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

1 Now it came1961 to pass in the third7969 year8141 of Hoshea1954 son1121 of Elah425 king4428 of Israel,3478 that Hezekiah2396 the son1121 of Ahaz271 king4428 of Judah3063 began to reign.4427

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Ahi, the daughter of Zechariah.

2 Twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old1121 was he when he began to reign;4427 and he reigned4427 twenty6242 and nine8672 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 His mother's517 name8034 also was Abi,21 the daughter1323 of Zachariah.2148

3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

3 And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all3605 that David1732 his father1 did.6213

4 He removed the high places and broke the images and cut down the idols and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for the children of Israel had gone astray after it, and until those days they did burn incense to it; and they called it Nehushtan.

4 He removed5493 the high1116 places, and broke7665 the images,4676 and cut3772 down the groves,842 and broke3807 in pieces the brazen5178 serpent5175 that Moses4872 had made:6213 for to those1992 days3117 the children1121 of Israel3478 did burn6999 incense6999 to it: and he called7121 it Nehushtan.5180

5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah nor among those who were before him.

5 He trusted982 in the LORD3068 God430 of Israel;3478 so that after310 him was none3808 like3644 him among all3605 the kings4428 of Judah,3063 nor any that were before6440 him.

6 For he held fast to the LORD and turned not aside from following him, but kept his commandments, according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

6 For he held1692 to the LORD,3068 and departed5493 not from following310 him, but kept8104 his commandments,4687 which834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses.4872

7 And the LORD was with him; and wherever he went forth he conquered; and he rebelled against the king of Assyria and served him not.

7 And the LORD3068 was with him; and he prospered7919 wherever3605 834 he went3318 forth:3318 and he rebelled4775 against the king4428 of Assyria,804 and served5647 him not.

8 He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

8 He smote5221 the Philistines,6430 even to Gaza,5804 and the borders1366 thereof, from the tower4026 of the watchmen5341 to the fenced4013 city.5892

9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

9 And it came1961 to pass in the fourth7243 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah,2396 which1958 was the seventh7651 year8141 of Hoshea1954 son1121 of Elah425 king4428 of Israel,3478 that Shalmaneser8022 king4428 of Assyria804 came5927 up against5921 Samaria,8111 and besieged6696 it.

10 And at the end of three years he took it, even in the sixth year of Hezekiah; that is, in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

10 And at the end7097 of three7969 years8141 they took3920 it: even in the sixth8337 year8141 of Hezekiah,2396 that is in the ninth8672 year8141 of Hoshea1954 king4428 of Israel,3478 Samaria8111 was taken.3920

11 And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, the cities of Media,

11 And the king4428 of Assyria804 did carry1540 away1540 Israel3478 to Assyria,804 and put5148 them in Halah2477 and in Habor2249 by the river5104 of Gozan,1470 and in the cities5892 of the Medes:4074

12 Because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded them, and would not hearken nor do them.

12 Because3282 834 they obeyed8085 not the voice6963 of the LORD3068 their God,430 but transgressed5674 his covenant,1285 and all3605 that Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded,6680 and would not hear8085 them, nor3808 do6213 them.

13 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

13 Now in the fourteenth702 6240 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah2396 did Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria804 come5927 up against5921 all3605 the fenced1219 cities5892 of Judah,3063 and took8610 them.

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from attacking me; and whatever tribute you lay on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria imposed upon Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

14 And Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 sent7971 to the king4428 of Assyria804 to Lachish,3923 saying,559 I have offended;2398 return7725 from me: that which834 you put5414 on5921 me will I bear.5375 And the king4428 of Assyria804 appointed7760 to Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 three7969 hundred3967 talents3603 of silver3701 and thirty7970 talents3603 of gold.2091

15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king's house.

15 And Hezekiah2396 gave5414 him all3605 the silver3701 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house.1004

16 At that time Hezekiah stripped off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

16 At that time6256 did Hezekiah2396 cut7112 off the gold from the doors1817 of the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 and from the pillars547 which834 Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 had overlaid,6823 and gave5414 it to the king4428 of Assyria.804

17 Then the king of Assyria sent Tartan and the Rab-shakeh and Rab-sisak from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. And they came up against Jerusalem, and when they were come up they stood by the ascent of the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the palace's field.

17 And the king4428 of Assyria804 sent7971 Tartan8661 and Rabsaris7249 and Rabshakeh7262 from Lachish3923 to king4428 Hezekiah2396 with a great3515 host2426 against Jerusalem.3389 And they went5927 up and came935 to Jerusalem.3389 And when they were come5927 up, they came935 and stood5975 by the conduit8585 of the upper5945 pool,1295 which834 is in the highway4546 of the fuller's3526 field.7704

18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was the steward of the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

18 And when they had called7121 to the king,4428 there came3318 out to them Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 which834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah3098 the son1121 of Asaph623 the recorder.2142

19 Then the Rab-shakeh said to them, Speak now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which you trust?

19 And Rabshakeh7262 said559 to them, Speak559 you now4994 to Hezekiah,2396 Thus3541 said559 the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria,804 What4100 confidence986 is this2088 wherein834 you trust?982

20 You have said that you are a good speaker and that you have counsel and strength for war. Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

20 You say,559 (but they are but vain8193 words,)1697 I have counsel6098 and strength1369 for the war.4421 Now6258 on5921 whom4310 do you trust,982 that you rebel4775 against me?

21 Now, behold, you have trusted upon the staff of the broken reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

21 Now,6258 behold,2009 you trust982 on the staff4938 of this2088 bruised7533 reed,7070 even on Egypt,4714 on5921 which834 if834 a man376 lean,5564 it will go935 into his hand,3709 and pierce5344 it: so3651 is Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714 to all3605 that trust982 on5921 him.

22 But if you say to me, We trust in the LORD our God; is it not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall worship before a single altar in Jerusalem?

22 But if3588 you say559 to me, We trust982 in the LORD3068 our God:430 is not that he, whose834 853 high1116 places and whose853 altars4196 Hezekiah2396 has taken5493 away,5493 and has said559 to Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 You shall worship7812 before6440 this2088 altar4196 in Jerusalem?3389

23 Now therefore, make an alliance with my lord the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you have riders to set upon them.

23 Now6258 therefore, I pray4994 you, give pledges6148 to my lord113 the king4428 of Assyria,804 and I will deliver5414 you two thousand505 horses,5483 if518 you be able3201 on your part to set5414 riders7392 on them.

24 How then will you refuse the request of one of the least nobles of my master's servants and put your trust in the Egyptian to give you chariots and horsemen?

24 How349 then will you turn7725 away the face6440 of one259 captain6346 of the least6996 of my master's113 servants,5650 and put your trust982 on5921 Egypt4714 for chariots7393 and for horsemen?6571

25 And now perhaps you think that I have come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

25 Am I now6258 come5927 up without1107 the LORD3068 against5921 this2088 place4725 to destroy7843 it? The LORD3068 said559 to me, Go5927 up against5921 this2063 land,776 and destroy7843 it.

26 Then said Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah to Rab-shakeh, Speak to your servants in the Aramaic; for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language in the presence of the people who are on the wall.

26 Then said559 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 and Shebna,7644 and Joah,3098 to Rabshakeh,7262 Speak,1696 I pray4994 you, to your servants5650 in the Syrian762 language; for we understand8085 it: and talk1696 not with us in the Jews'3066 language in the ears241 of the people5971 that are on5921 the wall.2346

27 But the Rab-shakeh said to them, It was not to you and to your master that my master has sent me to speak these words, but to the men who are sitting on the wall, that they may not eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you.

27 But Rabshakeh7262 said559 to them, Has my master113 sent7971 me to your master,113 and to you, to speak1696 these428 words?1697 has he not sent me to the men582 which sit3427 on5921 the wall,2346 that they may eat398 their own dung,2716 and drink8354 their own urine7890 with you?

28 Then the Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria;

28 Then Rabshakeh7262 stood5975 and cried7121 with a loud1419 voice6963 in the Jews'3066 language, and spoke,1696 saying,559 Hear8085 the word1697 of the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria:804

29 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he shall not be able to deliver you out of my hands;

29 Thus3541 said559 the king,4428 Let not Hezekiah2396 deceive5377 you: for he shall not be able3201 to deliver5337 you out of his hand:3027

30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

30 Neither408 let Hezekiah2396 make you trust982 in the LORD,3068 saying,559 The LORD3068 will surely deliver5337 us, and this2063 city5892 shall not be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Assyria.804

31 Do not hearken to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat every one of you of his own vine and of his own fig tree and drink every one the waters of his own cistern,

31 Listen8085 not to Hezekiah:2396 for thus3541 said559 the king4428 of Assyria,804 Make6213 an agreement with me by a present,1293 and come3318 out to me, and then eat398 you every man376 of his own vine,1612 and every376 one376 of his fig8384 tree, and drink8354 you every376 one376 the waters4325 of his cistern:953

32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of many kinds of fruit trees, a land of grain and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of fatness and of honey, that you may live and not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah, and let not Hezekiah deceive you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

32 Until5704 I come935 and take3947 you away to a land776 like your own land,776 a land776 of corn1715 and wine,8492 a land776 of bread3899 and vineyards,3754 a land776 of oil3323 olive2132 and of honey,1706 that you may live,2421 and not die:4191 and listen8085 not to Hezekiah,2396 when3588 he persuades5496 you, saying,559 The LORD3068 will deliver5337 us.

33 Has any of the gods of the nations been able to deliver his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

33 Has any376 of the gods430 of the nations1471 delivered5337 at all his land776 out of the hand3027 of the king4428 of Assyria?804

34 Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvim, Dena, and Ivah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hands?

34 Where346 are the gods430 of Hamath,2574 and of Arpad?774 where346 are the gods430 of Sepharvaim,5617 Hena,2012 and Ivah?5755 have they delivered5337 Samaria8111 out of my hand?3027

35 Who are there among all the gods of these nations that have delivered their country out of my hands, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hands?

35 Who4310 are they among all3605 the gods430 of the countries,776 that have delivered5337 their country776 out of my hand,3027 that the LORD3068 should deliver5337 Jerusalem3389 out of my hand?3027

36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king had commanded, saying, Do not answer him.

36 But the people5971 held2790 their peace,2790 and answered6030 him not a word:1697 for the king's4428 commandment4687 was, saying,559 Answer6030 him not.

37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, the steward of the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of the Rab-shakeh.

37 Then came935 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 which834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah3098 the son1121 of Asaph623 the recorder,2142 to Hezekiah2396 with their clothes899 rent,7167 and told5046 him the words1697 of Rabshakeh.7262
