36NOW IN the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.H702H6240H8141H4428H2396H5576H4428H804H5927H1219H5892H3063H8610 2And the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh [the military official] from Lachish [the Judean fortress commanding the road from Egypt] to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem with a great army. And he stood by the canal of the Upper Pool on the highway to the Fuller's Field.H4428H804H7971H7262H3923H3389H4428H2396H3515H2426H5975H8585H5945H1295H4546H3526H7704 3Then came out to meet him Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the [royal] household, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the recording historian.H3318H471H2518H1121H1004H7644H5608H3098H623H1121H2142 4And the Rabshakeh said to them, Say to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What reason for confidence is this in which you trust?H7262H559H559H2396H559H1419H4428H4428H804H986H982 5Do you suppose that mere words of the lips can pass for warlike counsel and strength? Now in whom do you trust {and} on whom do you rely, that you rebel against me?H559H8193H1697H6098H1369H4421H982H4775 6Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised {and} broken reed, Egypt, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust {and} rely on him.H982H4938H7533H7070H4714H376H5564H935H3709H5344H6547H4428H4714H982 7But if you say to me, We trust in {and} rely on the Lord our God--is it not He Whose high places and Whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar?H559H982H3068H430H1116H4196H2396H5493H559H3063H3389H7812H6440H4196 8Now therefore, I pray you, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria {and} give him pledges, and I will give you two thousand horses--if you are able on your part to put riders on them.H6148H113H4428H804H5414H505H5483H3201H5414H7392 9How then can you repulse the attack of a single captain of the least of my master's servants, when you put your reliance on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?H7725H6440H259H6346H6996H113H5650H982H4714H7393H6571 10Moreover, is it without the Lord that I have now come up against this land to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.H5927H1107H3068H776H7843H3068H559H5927H776H7843 11Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, We pray you, speak to your servants in the Aramaic {or} Syrian language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the language of the Jews in the hearing of the people on the wall.H559H471H7644H3098H7262H1696H5650H762H8085H1696H3066H241H5971H2346 12But the Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to speak these words only to your master and to you? Has he not sent me to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?H7262H559H113H7971H113H1696H1697H582H3427H2346H398H2716H6675H8354H4325H7272H7890 13Then the Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the language of the Jews: Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!H7262H5975H7121H1419H6963H3066H559H8085H1697H1419H4428H4428H804 14Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.H559H4428H2396H5377H3201H5337 15Nor let Hezekiah make you trust in {and} rely on the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us; this city will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.H2396H982H3068H559H3068H5337H5337H5892H5414H3027H4428H804 16Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one from his own vine and every one from his own fig tree and drink every one the water of his own cistern,H8085H2396H559H4428H804H6213H1293H3318H398H376H1612H376H8384H8354H376H4325H953 17Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.H935H3947H776H776H776H1715H8492H776H3899H3754 18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade {and} mislead you by saying, The Lord will deliver us. Has any one of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?H2396H5496H559H3068H5337H376H430H1471H5337H776H3027H4428H804 19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad [in Syria]? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim [a place from which the Assyrians brought colonists to inhabit evacuated Samaria]? And have [the gods] delivered Samaria [capital of the ten northern tribes of Israel] out of my hand?H430H2574H774H430H5617H5337H8111H3027 20Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land out of my hand, that [you should think that] the Lord can deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?H430H776H5337H776H3027H3068H5337H3389H3027 21But they kept still and answered him not a word, for the king's [Hezekiah's] command was, Do not answer him.H2790H6030H1697H4428H4687H559H6030 22Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the recording historian came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of the Rabshakeh [the Assyrian military official].H935H471H1121H2518H1004H7644H5608H3098H1121H623H2142H2396H899H7167H5046H1697H7262
