Now it
came
to pass in the third
year
of Hoshea
son
of Elah
king
of Israel
,
that
Hezekiah
the
son
of Ahaz
king
of Judah
began to reign
.
2
Twenty
and five
years
old
was he when he began to reign
;
and he reigned
twenty
and nine
years
in Jerusalem
.
His mother's
name
also
was
Abi
,
the daughter
of Zachariah
.
3
And he
did
that which was
right
in the sight
of the LORD
,
according
to all
that David
his father
did
.
4
He
removed
the high places
,
and brake
the images
,
and cut down
the groves
,
and brake
in pieces
the brasen
serpent
that Moses
had made
:
for unto
those
days
the children
of Israel
did burn incense
to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
5
He trusted
in the LORD
God
of Israel
;
so that after
him was
none
like
him among
all
the kings
of Judah
,
nor
any
that were before
him.
6
For he clave
to the LORD
,
and
departed
not from following
him, but kept
his commandments
,
which
the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
7
And the LORD
was with him;
and
he prospered
whithersoever he went forth
:
and he rebelled
against the king
of Assyria
,
and served
him not.
8
He smote
the Philistines
,
even
unto Gaza
,
and the borders
thereof, from the tower of the watchmen
to the fenced
city
.
9
And it came to pass in the fourth
year
of
king
Hezekiah
,
which
was
the seventh
year
of Hoshea
son
of Elah
king
of Israel
,
that
Shalmaneser
king
of Assyria
came up
against
Samaria
,
and besieged
it.
10
And at the end
of three
years
they took
it:
even
in the sixth
year
of Hezekiah
,
that
is
the ninth
year
of Hoshea
king
of Israel
,
Samaria
was taken
.
11
And the king
of Assyria
did carry away
Israel
unto Assyria
,
and put
them in Halah
and in Habor
by
the river
of Gozan
,
and in the cities
of the Medes
:
12
Because they obeyed
not the voice
of the LORD
their
God
,
but transgressed
his covenant
,
and
all
that Moses
the servant
of the LORD
commanded
,
and
would not hear
them
,
nor
do
them
.
13
Now in the fourteenth
year
of
king
Hezekiah
did Sennacherib
king
of Assyria
come up
against
all
the fenced
cities
of Judah
,
and took
them.
14
And Hezekiah
king
of Judah
sent
to the
king
of Assyria
to Lachish
,
saying
,
I have offended
;
return
from me: that which thou puttest
on me will I bear
.
And the
king
of Assyria
appointed
unto 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
did Hezekiah
cut 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
And the king
of Assyria
sent
Tartan
and Rabsaris
and Rabshakeh
from Lachish
to king
Hezekiah
with a great
host
against Jerusalem
.
And they went up
and came
to Jerusalem
.
And when they were come up
,
they came
and stood
by the conduit
of the upper
pool
,
which
is
in the highway
of the fuller's
field
.
18
And when they had called
to the king
,
there came out
to them Eliakim
the son
of Hilkiah
,
which
was
over the household
,
and Shebna
the scribe,
and Joah
the son
of Asaph
the recorder
.
19
And Rabshakeh
said
unto them, Speak
ye
now
to Hezekiah
,
Thus
saith
the great
king
,
the
king
of Assyria
,
What
confidence
is
this wherein thou trustest
?
20
Thou sayest
,
(but
they are but
vain
words,)
I have
counsel
and strength
for the war
.
Now on
whom
dost thou trust
,
that thou rebellest
against me?
21
Now
,
behold
, thou trustest
upon the staff
of this
bruised
reed
,
even
upon Egypt
,
on
which
if a man
lean
,
it will go
into his hand
,
and pierce
it: so
is
Pharaoh
king
of Egypt
unto all that trust
on him.
22
But
if
ye say
unto me, We trust
in the LORD
our God
:
is
not that he, whose high places
and whose altars
Hezekiah
hath taken away
,
and hath said
to Judah
and
Jerusalem
,
Ye shall worship
before
this
altar
in
Jerusalem
?
23
Now
therefore, I pray thee, give pledges
to my lord
the king
of Assyria
,
and I will deliver
thee two thousand
horses
,
if
thou be able
on thy part to set
riders
upon them.
24
How
then wilt thou turn away
the face
of one
captain
of the least
of my master's
servants
,
and put thy trust
on Egypt
for chariots
and for horsemen?
25
Am I
now
come up
without
the LORD
against
this
place
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
,
unto Rabshakeh
,
Speak
, I pray thee, to thy servants
in the Syrian language
;
for we understand
it
: and talk
not with us in the Jews' language
in the ears
of the people
that
are
on the wall
.
27
But Rabshakeh
said
unto them, Hath my master
sent
me to thy master
, and to thee, to speak
these
words
?
hath he
not
sent
me
to the men
which sit
on the wall
,
that they may eat
their own dung,
and drink
their own piss with you?
28
Then Rabshakeh
stood
and cried
with a loud
voice
in the Jews' language
,
and spake
, saying,
Hear
the word
of the great
king
,
the
king
of Assyria
:
29
Thus
saith
the king
,
Let not Hezekiah
deceive you: for he shall not be able
to deliver
you out of his hand
:
30
Neither let Hezekiah
make you trust
in the LORD
,
saying
,
The LORD
will surely
deliver
us, and this city
shall not be
deliver
ed
into the hand
of the king
of Assyria
.
31
Hearken
not to Hezekiah
:
for
thus
saith
the king
of Assyria
,
Make
an agreement
with me by a present
,
and come out
to me, and
then
eat
ye every man
of his own vine
,
and every one
of his fig tree
,
and drink
ye every one
the waters
of his cistern
:
32
Until I come
and take you away
to
a land
like your own land
,
a land
of corn
and wine
,
a land
of bread
and vineyards
,
a land
of oil
olive
and of honey
,
that ye may live
,
and not die
:
and hearken
not unto Hezekiah
,
when
he persuadeth
you, saying,
The LORD
will deliver
us.
33
Hath any
of the gods
of the nations
delivered
at all
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 Sepharvaim
,
Hena
, and Ivah? have they delivered
Samaria
out of mine hand?
35
Who
are
they among
all
the gods
of the countries
,
that have delivered
their country
out of mine hand
,
that the LORD
should deliver
Jerusalem
out of mine hand
?
36
But the people
held their peace
,
and answered
him not a word
:
for the king's
commandment
was, saying,
Answer
him not.
37
Then came
Eliakim
the son
of Hilkiah
,
which
was
over the household
,
and Shebna
the scribe,
and Joah
the son
of Asaph
the recorder
,
to Hezekiah
with
their
clothes
rent
,
and told
him the words
of Rabshakeh
.
