Now it came to pass in the thirdh7969 yearh8141 of Hosheah1954 sonh1121 of Elahh425 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, that Hezekiahh2396 the sonh1121 of Ahazh271 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 began to reignh4427h8804. Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias

Twentyh6242 and fiveh2568 yearsh8141 oldh1121 was he when he began to reignh4427h8800; and he reignedh4427h8804 twentyh6242 and nineh8672 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389. His mother'sh517 nameh8034 also was Abih21, the daughterh1323 of Zachariahh2148. Abi: also called, Abijah

And he didh6213h8799 that which was righth3477 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, according to all that Davidh1732 his fatherh1 didh6213h8804.

He removedh5493h8689 the high placesh1116, and brakeh7665h8765 the imagesh4676, and cut downh3772h8804 the grovesh842, and brake in piecesh3807h8765 the brasenh5178 serpenth5175 that Mosesh4872 had madeh6213h8804: for unto those daysh3117 the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 did burn incenseh6999h8764 to it: and he calledh7121h8799 it Nehushtanh5180. images: Heb. statues

He trustedh982h8804 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.

6

For he claveh1692h8799 to the LORDh3068, and departedh5493h8804 not from followingh310 him, but kepth8104h8799 his commandmentsh4687, which the LORDh3068 commandedh6680h8765 Mosesh4872. from...: Heb. from after him

7

And the LORDh3068 was with him; and he prosperedh7919h8686 whithersoever he went forthh3318h8799: and he rebelledh4775h8799 against the kingh4428 of Assyriah804, and servedh5647h8804 him not.

8

He smoteh5221h8689 the Philistinesh6430, even unto Gazah5804, and the bordersh1366 thereof, from the towerh4026 of the watchmenh5341h8802 to the fencedh4013 cityh5892. Gaza: Heb. Azzah

And it came to pass in the fourthh7243 yearh8141 of kingh4428 Hezekiahh2396, which was the seventhh7637 yearh8141 of Hosheah1954 sonh1121 of Elahh425 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, that Shalmaneserh8022 kingh4428 of Assyriah804 came uph5927h8804 against Samariah8111, and besiegedh6696h8799 it.

10

And at the endh7097 of threeh7969 yearsh8141 they tookh3920h8799 it: even in the sixthh8337 yearh8141 of Hezekiahh2396, that is the ninthh8672 yearh8141 of Hosheah1954 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, Samariah8111 was takenh3920h8738.

And the kingh4428 of Assyriah804 did carry awayh1540h8686 Israelh3478 unto Assyriah804, and puth5148h8686 them in Halahh2477 and in Haborh2249 by the riverh5104 of Gozanh1470, and in the citiesh5892 of the Medesh4074:

12

Because they obeyedh8085h8804 not the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 their Godh430, but transgressedh5674h8799 his covenanth1285, and all that Mosesh4872 the servanth5650 of the LORDh3068 commandedh6680h8765, and would not hearh8085h8804 them , nor doh6213h8804 them .

And Hezekiahh2396 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 senth7971h8799 to the kingh4428 of Assyriah804 to Lachishh3923, sayingh559h8800, I have offendedh2398h8804; returnh7725h8798 from me: that which thou puttesth5414h8799 on me will I bearh5375h8799. And the kingh4428 of Assyriah804 appointedh7760h8799 unto Hezekiahh2396 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 threeh7969 hundredh3967 talentsh3603 of silverh3701 and thirtyh7970 talentsh3603 of goldh2091.

15

And Hezekiahh2396 gaveh5414h8799 him all the silverh3701 that was foundh4672h8737 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and in the treasuresh214 of the king'sh4428 househ1004.

16

At that timeh6256 did Hezekiahh2396 cut offh7112h8765 the gold from the doorsh1817 of the templeh1964 of the LORDh3068, and from the pillarsh547 which Hezekiahh2396 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 had overlaidh6823h8765, and gaveh5414h8799 it to the kingh4428 of Assyriah804. it: Heb. them

And they went uph5927h8799 and cameh935h8799 to Jerusalemh3389. And when they were come uph5927h8799, they cameh935h8799 and stoodh5975h8799 by the conduith8585 of the upperh5945 poolh1295, which is in the highwayh4546 of the fuller'sh3526h8801 fieldh7704. great: Heb. heavy

And when they had calledh7121h8799 to the kingh4428, there came outh3318h8799 to them Eliakimh471 the sonh1121 of Hilkiahh2518, which was over the householdh1004, and Shebnah7644 the scribeh5608h8802, and Joahh3098 the sonh1121 of Asaphh623 the recorderh2142h8688. scribe: or, secretary

19

And Rabshakehh7262 saidh559h8799 unto them, Speakh559h8798 ye now to Hezekiahh2396, Thus saithh559h8804 the greath1419 kingh4428, the kingh4428 of Assyriah804, What confidenceh986 is this wherein thou trustesth982h8804?

20

Thou sayesth559h8804, (but they are but vainh8193 wordsh1697,) I have counselh6098 and strengthh1369 for the warh4421. Now on whom dost thou trusth982h8804, that thou rebellesth4775h8804 against me? sayest: or, talkest
vain...: Heb. word of the lips
I have...: or, but counsel and strength are for the war

21

Now, behold, thou trustesth982h8804 upon the staffh4938 of this bruisedh7533h8803 reedh7070, even upon Egypth4714, on which if a manh376 leanh5564h8735, it will goh935h8804 into his handh3709, and pierceh5344h8804 it: so is Pharaohh6547 kingh4428 of Egypth4714 unto all that trusth982h8802 on him. trustest: Heb. trustest thee

22

But if ye sayh559h8799 unto me, We trusth982h8804 in the LORDh3068 our Godh430: is not that he, whose high placesh1116 and whose altarsh4196 Hezekiahh2396 hath taken awayh5493h8689, and hath saidh559h8799 to Judahh3063 and Jerusalemh3389, Ye shall worshiph7812h8691 beforeh6440 this altarh4196 in Jerusalemh3389?

23

Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledgesh6148h8690 to my lordh113 the kingh4428 of Assyriah804, and I will deliverh5414h8799 thee two thousandh505 horsesh5483, if thou be ableh3201h8799 on thy part to seth5414h8800 ridersh7392h8802 upon them. pledges: or, hostages

24

How then wilt thou turn awayh7725h8686 the faceh6440 of oneh259 captainh6346 of the leasth6996 of my master'sh113 servantsh5650, and put thy trusth982h8799 on Egypth4714 for chariotsh7393 and for horsemenh6571?

25

Am I now come uph5927h8804 withouth1107 the LORDh3068 against this placeh4725 to destroyh7843h8687 it? The LORDh3068 saidh559h8804 to me, Go uph5927h8798 against this landh776, and destroyh7843h8685 it.

26

Then saidh559h8799 Eliakimh471 the sonh1121 of Hilkiahh2518, and Shebnah7644, and Joahh3098, unto Rabshakehh7262, Speakh1696h8761, I pray thee, to thy servantsh5650 in the Syrian languageh762; for we understandh8085h8802 it : and talkh1696h8762 not with us in the Jews' languageh3066 in the earsh241 of the peopleh5971 that are on the wallh2346.

27

But Rabshakehh7262 saidh559h8799 unto them, Hath my masterh113 senth7971h8804 me to thy masterh113, and to thee, to speakh1696h8763 these wordsh1697? hath he not sent me to the menh582 which sith3427h8802 on the wallh2346, that they may eath398h8800 their own dungh6675h8675h2755, and drinkh8354h8800 their own pissh4325h7272h8675h7890 with you? their own piss: Heb. the water of their feet

28

Then Rabshakehh7262 stoodh5975h8799 and criedh7121h8799 with a loudh1419 voiceh6963 in the Jews' languageh3066, and spakeh1696h8762, sayingh559h8799, Hearh8085h8798 the wordh1697 of the greath1419 kingh4428, the kingh4428 of Assyriah804:

29

Thus saithh559h8804 the kingh4428, Let not Hezekiahh2396 deceiveh5377h8686 you: for he shall not be ableh3201h8799 to deliverh5337h8687 you out of his handh3027:

30

Neither let Hezekiahh2396 make you trusth982h8686 in the LORDh3068, sayingh559h8800, The LORDh3068 will surelyh5337h8687 deliverh5337h8686 us, and this cityh5892 shall not be deliveredh5414h8735 into the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Assyriah804.

31

Hearkenh8085h8799 not to Hezekiahh2396: for thus saithh559h8804 the kingh4428 of Assyriah804, Makeh6213h8798 an agreement with me by a presenth1293, and come outh3318h8798 to me, and then eath398h8798 ye every manh376 of his own vineh1612, and every oneh376 of his fig treeh8384, and drinkh8354h8798 ye every oneh376 the watersh4325 of his cisternh953: Make...: or, Seek my favour: Heb. Make with me a blessing
cistern: or, pit

32

Until I comeh935h8800 and take you awayh3947h8804 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 liveh2421h8798, and not dieh4191h8799: and hearkenh8085h8799 not unto Hezekiahh2396, when he persuadethh5496h8686 you, sayingh559h8800, The LORDh3068 will deliverh5337h8686 us. persuadeth: or, deceiveth

33

Hath anyh376 of the godsh430 of the nationsh1471 deliveredh5337h8689 at allh5337h8687 his landh776 out of the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Assyriah804?

34

Where are the godsh430 of Hamathh2574, and of Arpadh774? where are the godsh430 of Sepharvaimh5617, Henah2012, and Ivahh5755? have they deliveredh5337h8689 Samariah8111 out of mine handh3027?

35

Who are they among all the godsh430 of the countriesh776, that have deliveredh5337h8689 their countryh776 out of mine handh3027, that the LORDh3068 should deliverh5337h8686 Jerusalemh3389 out of mine handh3027?

36

But the peopleh5971 held their peaceh2790h8689, and answeredh6030h8804 him not a wordh1697: for the king'sh4428 commandmenth4687 was, sayingh559h8800, Answerh6030h8799 him not.

37

Then cameh935h8799 Eliakimh471 the sonh1121 of Hilkiahh2518, which was over the householdh1004, and Shebnah7644 the scribeh5608h8802, and Joahh3098 the sonh1121 of Asaphh623 the recorderh2142h8688, to Hezekiahh2396 with their clothesh899 renth7167h8803, and toldh5046h8686 him the wordsh1697 of Rabshakehh7262.
