Now it came to pass in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, that SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against all the defencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426. And he stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704.
Then came forthH3318 unto him EliakimH471, Hilkiah'sH2518 sonH1121, which was over the houseH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, Asaph'sH623 sonH1121, the recorderH2142. {scribe: or, secretary}
And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this wherein thou trustestH982?
I sayH559, sayest thou, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421: now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me? {vain…: Heb. a word of lips} {I have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}
Lo, thou trustestH982 in the staffH4938 of this brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 in him.
But if thou sayH559 to me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is it not he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196?
Now therefore give pledgesH6148, I pray thee, to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 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?
And am I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this landH776 to destroyH7843 it? the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
Then saidH559 EliakimH471 and ShebnaH7644 and JoahH3098 unto RabshakehH7262, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, unto thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian languageH762; for we understandH8085 it: and speakH1696 not to us in the Jews' languageH3066, in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
But RabshakehH7262 saidH559, Hath my masterH113 sentH7971 me to thy masterH113 and to thee to speakH1696 these wordsH1697? hath he not sent me to the menH582 that sitH3427 upon the wallH2346, that they may eatH398 their own dungH2716+H6675, and drinkH8354 their own pissH4325+H7272+H7890 with you?
Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975, and criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in the Jews' languageH3066, and saidH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 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.
Neither let HezekiahH2396 make you trustH982 in the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH5337 deliverH5337 us: 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 eatH398 ye every oneH376 of his vineH1612, and every oneH376 of his fig treeH8384, and drinkH8354 ye every oneH376 the watersH4325 of his own cisternH953; {Make…: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing}
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.
Beware lest HezekiahH2396 persuadeH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Where are the godsH430 of HamathH2574 and ArphadH774? where are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617? and have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of my handH3027?
Who are they among all the godsH430 of these landsH776, that have deliveredH5337 their landH776 out of my handH3027, that the LORDH3068 should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of my handH3027?
But they held their peaceH2790, and answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697: for the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687 was, sayingH559, AnswerH6030 him not.
Then cameH935 EliakimH471, the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, that was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, the recorderH2142, to HezekiahH2396 with their clothesH899 rentH7167, and toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262.

He trustedH982 in the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; so that afterH310 him was none like him among all the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, nor any that were beforeH6440 him.
Ye shall utterlyH6 destroyH6 all the placesH4725, wherein the nationsH1471 whichH834 ye shall possessH3423 servedH5647 their godsH430, upon the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {possess: or, inherit}
And ye shall overthrowH5422 their altarsH4196, and breakH7665 their pillarsH4676, and burnH8313 their grovesH842 with fireH784; and ye shall hew downH1438 the graven imagesH6456 of their godsH430, and destroyH6 the namesH8034 of them out of that placeH4725. {overthrow: Heb. break down}
Ye shall not do soH6213 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But unto the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 out of all your tribesH7626 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there, even unto his habitationH7933 shall ye seekH1875, and thither thou shalt comeH935:
And thither ye shall bringH935 your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, and your tithesH4643, and heave offeringsH8641 of your handH3027, and your vowsH5088, and your freewill offeringsH5071, and the firstlingsH1062 of your herdsH1241 and of your flocksH6629:
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?
Take heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt offeringsH5930 in every placeH4725 that thou seestH7200:
And they were helpedH5826 against them, and the HagaritesH1905 were deliveredH5414 into their handH3027, and all that were with them: for they criedH2199 to GodH430 in the battleH4421, and he was intreatedH6279 of them; because they put their trustH982 in him.
But in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt offeringsH5930, and there thou shalt doH6213 all that I commandH6680 thee.
And at that timeH6256 HananiH2607 the seerH7200 cameH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto him, Because thou hast reliedH8172 on the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and not reliedH8172 on the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, therefore is the hostH2428 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 escapedH4422 out of thine handH3027.
Were not the EthiopiansH3569 and the LubimsH3864 a hugeH7230 hostH2428, with veryH3966 manyH7235 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571? yet, because thou didst relyH8172 on the LORDH3068, he deliveredH5414 them into thine handH3027. {a huge: Heb. in abundance}
For the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 run to and froH7751 throughout the whole earthH776, to shew himself strongH2388 in the behalf of them whose heartH3824 is perfectH8003 toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishlyH5528: therefore from henceforthH6258 thou shalt haveH3426 warsH4421. {to shew…: or, strongly to hold with them, etc}
He removedH5493 the high placesH1116, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 the grovesH842, and brake in piecesH3807 the brasenH5178 serpentH5175 that MosesH4872 had madeH6213: for unto those daysH3117 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did burn incenseH6999 to it: and he calledH7121 it NehushtanH5180. {images: Heb. statues} {Nehushtan: that is, A piece of brass}
Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 forH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, nor for all the multitudeH1995 that is with him: for there be moreH7227 with us than with him:
And they aroseH6965 and took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 that were in JerusalemH3389, and all the altars for incenseH6999 took they awayH5493, and castH7993 them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
With him is an armH2220 of fleshH1320; but with us is the LORDH3068 our GodH430 to helpH5826 us, and to fightH3898 our battlesH4421. And the peopleH5971 restedH5564 themselves upon the wordsH1697 of HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. {rested…: Heb. leaned}
Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676 in piecesH7665, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842, and threw downH5422 the high placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had utterly destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892. {present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until…: Heb. until to make an end}
Hath not the same HezekiahH3169 taken awayH5493 his high placesH1116 and his altarsH4196, and commandedH559 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 oneH259 altarH4196, and burn incenseH6999 upon it?
They criedH2199 unto thee, and were deliveredH4422: they trustedH982 in thee, and were not confoundedH954.
ButG1161 he that is spiritualG4152 judgethG350+G3303 all thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is judgedG350 ofG5259 no manG3762. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned}
Why art thou cast downH7817, O my soulH5315? and why art thou disquietedH1993 in me? hopeH3176 thou in GodH430: for I shall yet praiseH3034 him for the helpH3444 of his countenanceH6440. {cast: Heb. bowed} {praise: or, give thanks} {for the…: or, his presence is salvation}
