And it came to pass, when kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 heardH8085 it, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he sentH7971 EliakimH471, which was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and the eldersH2205 of the priestsH3548, coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, to IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531.
And they saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 HezekiahH2396, This dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of troubleH6869, and of rebukeH8433, and blasphemyH5007: for the childrenH1121 are comeH935 to the birthH4866, and there is not strengthH3581 to bring forthH3205. {blasphemy: or, provocation}
It may beH194 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 all the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whom the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430; and will reproveH3198 the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath heardH8085: wherefore lift upH5375 thy prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that are leftH4672. {left: Heb. found}
So the servantsH5650 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 cameH935 to IsaiahH3470.
And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto them, Thus shall ye sayH559 to your masterH113, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Be not afraidH3372 ofH6440 the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085, with which the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 have blasphemedH1442 me.
Behold, I will sendH5414 a blastH7307 upon him, and he shall hearH8085 a rumourH8052, and shall returnH7725 to his own landH776; and I will cause him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.
So RabshakehH7262 returnedH7725, and foundH4672 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 warringH3898 against LibnahH3841: for he had heardH8085 that he was departedH5265 from LachishH3923.
And when he heardH8085 sayH559 of TirhakahH8640 kingH4428 of EthiopiaH3568, Behold, he is come outH3318 to fightH3898 against thee: he sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH7725 unto HezekiahH2396, sayingH559,
Thus shall ye speakH559 to HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Let not thy GodH430 in whom thou trustestH982 deceiveH5377 thee, sayingH559, JerusalemH3389 shall not be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
Behold, thou hast heardH8085 what the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have doneH6213 to all landsH776, by destroying them utterlyH2763: and shalt thou be deliveredH5337?
Have the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 them which my fathersH1 have destroyedH7843; as GozanH1470, and HaranH2771, and RezephH7530, and the childrenH1121 of EdenH5729 which were in ThelasarH8515?
Where is the kingH4428 of HamathH2574, and the kingH4428 of ArpadH774, and the kingH4428 of the cityH5892 of SepharvaimH5617, of HenaH2012, and IvahH5755?
And HezekiahH2396 receivedH3947 the letterH5612 of the handH3027 of the messengersH4397, and readH7121 it: and HezekiahH2396 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and spreadH6566 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And HezekiahH2396 prayedH6419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which dwellestH3427 between the cherubimsH3742, thou art the GodH430, even thou alone, of all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776.
LORDH3068, bow downH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085: openH6491, LORDH3068, thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200: and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of SennacheribH5576, which hath sentH7971 him to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430.
Of a truthH551, LORDH3068, the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 have destroyedH2717 the nationsH1471 and their landsH776,
And have castH5414 their godsH430 into the fireH784: for they were no godsH430, but the workH4639 of men'sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68: therefore they have destroyedH6 them. {cast: Heb. given}
Now therefore, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, I beseech thee, saveH3467 thou us out of his handH3027, that all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, even thou only.
Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, That which thou hast prayedH6419 to me against SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 I have heardH8085.
This is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee, and laughed thee to scornH3932; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
ByH3027 thy messengersH4397 thou hast reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, With the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393+H7393 I am come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844, and will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedar treesH730 thereof, and the choiceH4004 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the lodgingsH4411 of his bordersH7093, and into the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760. {By: Heb. By the hand of} {tall…: Heb. tallness, etc} {of his Carmel: or, and his fruitful field}
I have diggedH6979 and drunkH8354 strangeH2114 watersH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I driedH2717 up all the riversH2975 of besieged placesH4693. {besieged: or, fenced}
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350 how I have doneH6213 it, and of ancientH6924 timesH3117 that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 fencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {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?}
Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954; they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as corn blastedH7711 beforeH6440 it be grown upH7054. {of small…: Heb. short of hand}
But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me. {abode: or, sitting}
Because thy rageH7264 against me and thy tumultH7600 is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore I will putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, Ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 such things as growH5599 of themselves, and in the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springethH7823 of the same; and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitsH6529 thereof.
And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall yet againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605. {remnant…: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
For out of JerusalemH3389 shall go forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and they that escapeH6413 out of mountH2022 ZionH6726: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall doH6213 this. {they…: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, nor come beforeH6923 it with shieldH4043, nor castH8210 a bankH5550 against it.
By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892, to saveH3467 it, for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went outH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 an hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
And it came to pass, as he was worshippingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smoteH5221 him with the swordH2719: and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of ArmeniaH780. And EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}

And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 JehovahjirehH3070: asH834 it is saidH559 to this dayH3117, In the mountH2022 of the LORDH3068 it shall be seenH7200. {Jehovahjireh: that is, The Lord will see, or, provide}
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 TartanH8661 and RabsarisH7249 and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 hostH2426 against JerusalemH3389. And they went upH5927 and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they were come upH5927, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, which is in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704. {great: Heb. heavy}
And when they had calledH7121 to the kingH4428, there came outH3318 to them EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, which was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142. {scribe: or, secretary}
And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SpeakH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this wherein thou trustestH982?
Thou sayestH559, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697,) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. Now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 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 trustestH982 upon the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto all that trustH982 on him. {trustest: Heb. trustest thee}
But if ye sayH559 unto me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is not that he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389?
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledgesH6148 to my lordH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will deliverH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}
How then wilt thou turn awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captainH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master'sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?
Am I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this placeH4725 to destroyH7843 it? The LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
Then saidH559 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, and ShebnaH7644, and JoahH3098, unto RabshakehH7262, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, to thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian languageH762; for we understandH8085 it: and talkH1696 not with us in the Jews' languageH3066 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
But RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, Hath my masterH113 sentH7971 me to thy masterH113, and to thee, to speakH1696 these wordsH1697? hath he not sent me to the menH582 which sitH3427 on the wallH2346, that they may eatH398 their own dungH6675+H2755, and drinkH8354 their own pissH4325+H7272+H7890 with you? {their own piss: Heb. the water of their feet}
Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975 and criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in the Jews' languageH3066, and spakeH1696, sayingH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804:
Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Let not HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5377 you: for he shall not be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 you out of his handH3027:
Neither let HezekiahH2396 make you trustH982 in the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH5337 deliverH5337 us, and this cityH5892 shall not be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
HearkenH8085 not to HezekiahH2396: for thus saithH559 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, MakeH6213 an agreement with me by a presentH1293, and come outH3318 to me, and then eatH398 ye every manH376 of his own vineH1612, and every oneH376 of his fig treeH8384, and drinkH8354 ye every oneH376 the watersH4325 of his cisternH953: {Make…: or, Seek my favour: Heb. Make with me a blessing} {cistern: or, pit}
Until I comeH935 and take you awayH3947 to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754, a landH776 of oilH3323 oliveH2132 and of honeyH1706, that ye may liveH2421, and not dieH4191: and hearkenH8085 not unto HezekiahH2396, when he persuadethH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. {persuadeth: or, deceiveth}
Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 at allH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Where are the godsH430 of HamathH2574, and of ArpadH774? where are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617, HenaH2012, and IvahH5755? have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of mine handH3027?
Who are they among all the godsH430 of the countriesH776, that have deliveredH5337 their countryH776 out of mine handH3027, that the LORDH3068 should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of mine handH3027?
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
And for this cause HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428, and the prophetH5030 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, prayedH6419 and criedH2199 to heavenH8064.
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and repentH5162 himself for his servantsH5650, when he seethH7200 that their powerH3027 is goneH235, and there is noneH657 shut upH6113, or leftH5800. {power: Heb. hand}
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
Now therefore giveH5414 me this mountainH2022, whereof the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 in that dayH3117; for thou heardestH8085 in that dayH3117 how the AnakimsH6062 were there, and that the citiesH5892 were greatH1419 and fencedH1219: if so beH194 the LORDH3068 will be withH854 me, then I shall be able to drive them outH3423, as the LORDH3068 saidH1696.
These things hast thou doneH6213, and I kept silenceH2790; thou thoughtestH1819 that I was altogetherH1961 such an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and set them in orderH6186 before thine eyesH5869.
CallH7121 unto me, and I will answerH6030 thee, and shewH5046 thee greatH1419 and mighty thingsH1219, which thou knowestH3045 not. {mighty: or, hidden}
Now in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 did SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 come upH5927 against all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them. {Sennacherib: Heb. Sanherib}
And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the young manH5288 that bareH5375 his armourH3627, ComeH3212, and let us go overH5674 unto the garrisonH4673 of these uncircumcisedH6189: it may be that the LORDH3068 will workH6213 for us: for there is no restraintH4622 to the LORDH3068 to saveH3467 by manyH7227 or by fewH4592.
RememberH2142 this, that the enemyH341 hath reproachedH2778, O LORDH3068, and that the foolishH5036 peopleH5971 have blasphemedH5006 thy nameH8034.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 his GodH430 deliveredH5414 him into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758; and they smoteH5221 him, and carried awayH7617 a great multitudeH1419 of them captivesH7633, and broughtH935 them to DamascusH1834. And he was also deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 him with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
It may be that the LORDH3068 will lookH7200 on mine afflictionH5869+H6040, and that the LORDH3068 will requiteH7725 me goodH2896 for his cursingH7045 this dayH3117. {affliction: or, tears: Heb. eye}
EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600 asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:
For PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 slewH2026 in JudahH3063 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in oneH259 dayH3117, which were all valiantH2428 menH1121; because they had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {valiant…: Heb. sons of valour}
