V.1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth 702 6240 year 8141 of king 4428 Hezekiah, 2396 [that] Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804 came up 5927-1 against all the defenced 1219-7 cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 and took 8610-4 them.

36:2 And the king 4428 of Assyria 804 sent 7971-4 Rabshakeh 7262 from Lachish 3923 to Jerusalem 3389 unto king 4428 Hezekiah 2396 with a great 3515 army. 2426 And he stood 5975- 4 by the conduit 8585 of the upper 5945 pool 1295 in the highway 4546 of the fuller's 3526-5 field. 7704

36:3 Then came forth 3318-4 unto him Eliakim, 471 Hilkiah's 2518 son, 1121 which was over the house, 1004 and Shebna 7644 the scribe, 5608-6 and Joah, 3098 Asaph's 623 son, 1121 the recorder. 2142-56

36:4 And Rabshakeh 7262 said 559-4 unto them, Say 559-3 ye now to Hezekiah, 2396 Thus saith 559-1 the great 1419 king, 4428 the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 What confidence 986 [is] this wherein thou trustest? 982-1

36:5 I say, 559-1 [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain 8193 words) 1697 [I have] counsel 6098 and strength 1369 for war: 4421 now on whom dost thou trust, 982-1 that thou rebellest 4775-1 against me?

36:6 Lo, thou trustest 982-1 in the staff 4938 of this broken 7533-7 reed, 7070 on Egypt; 4714 whereon if a man 376 lean, 5564-11 it will go 935-1 into his hand, 3709 and pierce 5344- 1 it: so [is] Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 to all that trust 982-6 in him.

36:7 But if thou say 559-4 to me, We trust 982-1 in the LORD 3068 our God: 430 [is it] not he, whose high places 1116 and whose altars 4196 Hezekiah 2396 hath taken away, 5493-52 and said 559-4 to Judah 3063 and to Jerusalem, 3389 Ye shall worship 7812-101 before 6440 this altar? 4196

36:8 Now therefore give pledges, 6148-100 I pray thee, to my master 113 the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 and I will give 5414-4 thee two thousand 505 horses, 5483 if thou be able 3201-4 on thy part to set 5414-2 riders 7392-6 upon them.

36:9 How then wilt thou turn away 7725-55 the face 6440 of one 259 captain 6346 of the least 6996 of my master's 113 servants, 5650 and put thy trust 982-4 on Egypt 4714 for chariots 7393 and for horsemen? 6571

36:10 And am I now come up 5927-1 without 1107 the LORD 3068 against this land 776 to destroy 7843-53 it? the LORD 3068 said 559-1 unto me, Go up 5927-3 against this land, 776 and destroy 7843-54 it.

36:11 Then said 559-4 Eliakim 471 and Shebna 7644 and Joah 3098 unto Rabshakeh, 7262 Speak, 1696-16 I pray thee, unto thy servants 5650 in the Syrian 762 language; for we understand 8085-6 [it]: and speak 1696-17 not to us in the Jews' language, 3066 in the ears 241 of the people 5971 that [are] on the wall. 2346

36:12 But Rabshakeh 7262 said, 559-4 Hath my master 113 sent 7971-1 me to thy master 113 and to thee to speak 1696-15 these words? 1697 [hath he] not [sent me] to the men 582 that sit 3427-6 upon the wall, 2346 that they may eat 398-2 their own dung, 2716|6675-q and drink 8354-2 their own piss 4325|7272|7890-k with you?

36:13 Then Rabshakeh 7262 stood, 5975-4 and cried 7121-4 with a loud 1419 voice 6963 in the Jews' language, 3066 and said, 559-4 Hear 8085-3 ye the words 1697 of the great 1419 king, 4428 the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

36:14 Thus saith 559-1 the king, 4428 Let not Hezekiah 2396 deceive 5377-55 you: for he shall not be able 3201-4 to deliver 5337-53 you.

36:15 Neither let Hezekiah 2396 make you trust 982-55 in the LORD, 3068 saying, 559-2 The LORD 3068 will surely 5337-53 deliver 5337-55 us: this city 5892 shall not be delivered 5414-11 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

36:16 Hearken 8085-4 not to Hezekiah: 2396 for thus saith 559-1 the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 Make 6213-3 [an agreement] with me [by] a present, 1293 and come out 3318-3 to me: and eat 398-3 ye every one 376 of his vine, 1612 and every one 376 of his fig tree, 8384 and drink 8354-3 ye every one 376 the waters 4325 of his own cistern; 953

36:17 Until I come 935-2 and take 3947-1 you away to a land 776 like your own land, 776 a land 776 of corn 1715 and wine, 8492 a land 776 of bread 3899 and vineyards. 3754

36:18 [Beware] lest Hezekiah 2396 persuade 5496-55 you, saying, 559-2 The LORD 3068 will deliver 5337-55 us. Hath any 376 of the gods 430 of the nations 1471 delivered 5337-52 his land 776 out of the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Assyria? 804

36:19 Where [are] the gods 430 of Hamath 2574 and Arphad? 774 where [are] the gods 430 of Sepharvaim? 5617 and have they delivered 5337-52 Samaria 8111 out of my hand? 3027

36:20 Who [are they] among all the gods 430 of these lands, 776 that have delivered 5337-52 their land 776 out of my hand, 3027 that the LORD 3068 should deliver 5337-55 Jerusalem 3389 out of my hand? 3027

36:21 But they held their peace, 2790-55 and answered 6030-1 him not a word: 1697 for the king's 4428 commandment 4687 was, saying, 559-2 Answer 6030-4 him not.
