[1] Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. [2] He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. [3] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done. [4] He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan. [5] He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him. [6] For he joined with Yahweh. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses. [7] Yahweh was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him. [8] He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. [9] In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it. [10] At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. [11] The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, [12] because they didn’t obey Yahweh their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it or do it. [13] Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. [14] Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talentsⓘ of gold. [15] Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in Yahweh’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house. [16] At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of Yahweh’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. [17] The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field. [18] When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them. [19] Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust? [20] You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me? [21] Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him. [22] But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’? [23] Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them. [24] How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? [25] Have I now come up without Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’” [26] Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.” [27] But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?” [28] Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria. [29] The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand. [30] Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” [31] Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern; [32] until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.” [33] Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered 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, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? [35] Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’” [36] But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.” [37] Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.

Hezekiah

[1] Now it came to pass in the third H7969 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 son H1121 of Elah H425 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that Hezekiah H2396 the son H1121 of Ahaz H271 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began to reign. H4427 [2] Twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 was he when he began to reign; H4427 and he reigned H4427 twenty H6242 and nine H8672 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 His mother’s H517 name H8034 also was Abi, H21 the daughter H1323 of Zachariah. H2148 [3] And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 according to all that David H1732 his father H1 did. H6213 [4] He removed H5493 H853 the high places, H1116 and brake H7665 H853 the images, H4676§ and cut down H3772 H853 the groves, H842 and brake in pieces H3807 the brasen H5178 serpent H5175 that Moses H4872 had made: H6213 for H3588 unto H5704 those days H3117 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did burn incense H6999 to it: and he called H7121 it Nehushtan. H5180 [5] He trusted H982 in the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel; H3478 so that after H310 him was none like him among all the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 nor any that were before H6440 him. [6] For he clave H1692 to the Lord, H3068 and departed H5493 not H3808 from following H310 him,§ but kept H8104 his commandments, H4687 which H834 the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses. H4872 [7] And the Lord H3068 was with him; and he prospered H7919 whithersoever he went forth: H3318 and he rebelled H4775 against the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and served H5647 him not. [8] He smote H5221 H853 the Philistines, H6430 even unto Gaza, H5804§ and the borders H1366 thereof, from the tower H4026 of the watchmen H5341 to the fenced H4013 city. H5892 [9] And it came to pass in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of king H4428 Hezekiah, H2396 which was the seventh H7637 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 son H1121 of Elah H425 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that Shalmaneser H8022 king H4428 of Assyria H804 came up H5927 against H5921 Samaria, H8111 and besieged H6696 it. [10] And at the end H7097 of three H7969 years H8141 they took H3920 it: even in the sixth H8337 year H8141 of Hezekiah, H2396 that is the ninth H8672 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 Samaria H8111 was taken. H3920 [11] And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 did carry away H1540 H853 Israel H3478 unto Assyria, H804 and put H5148 them in Halah H2477 and in Habor H2249 by the river H5104 of Gozan, H1470 and in the cities H5892 of the Medes: H4074 [12] because they obeyed H8085 not H3808 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 their God, H430 but transgressed H5674 H853 his covenant, H1285 and all that Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the Lord H3068 commanded, H6680 and would not hear H8085 them, nor do H6213 them.

Assyria’s Threat

[13] Now in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 did Sennacherib H5576§ king H4428 of Assyria H804 come up H5927 against H5921 all H3605 the fenced H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and took H8610 them. [14] And Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 sent H7971 to the king H4428 of Assyria H804 to Lachish, H3923 saying, H559 I have offended; H2398 return H7725 from me: that which thou puttest H5414 on H5921 me will I bear. H5375 And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 appointed H7760 unto H413 Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 three H7969 hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver H3701 and thirty H7970 talents H3603 of gold. H2091 [15] And Hezekiah H2396 gave H5414 him all the silver H3701 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and in the treasures H214 of the king’s H4428 house. H1004 [16] At that time H6256 did Hezekiah H2396 cut off H7112 H853 the gold from the doors H1817 of the temple H1964 of the Lord, H3068 and from the pillars H547 which H834 Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 had overlaid, H6823 and gave H5414 it to the§ king H4428 of Assyria. H804 [17] And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 H853 Tartan H8661 and Rabsaris H7249 and Rab-shakeh H7262 from H4480 Lachish H3923 to king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 with a great H3515§ host H2426 against Jerusalem. H3389 And they went up H5927 and came H935 to Jerusalem. H3389 And when they were come up, H5927 they came H935 and stood H5975 by the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool, H1295 which is in the highway H4546 of the fuller’s H3526 field. H7704 [18] And when they had called H7121 to the king, H4428 there came out H3318 to them Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah, H2518 which was over the household, H1004 and Shebna H7644 the scribe, H5608§ and Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Asaph H623 the recorder. H2142 [19] And Rab-shakeh H7262 said H559 unto H413 them, Speak H559 ye now to Hezekiah, H2396 Thus H3541 saith H559 the great H1419 king, H4428 the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 What H4100 confidence H986 is this wherein thou trustest? H982 [20] Thou sayest, H559§ (but they are but vain H8193 words,)§ H1697 I have counsel H6098 and strength H1369 for H3588 the war. H4421§ Now H6258 on H5921 whom dost thou trust, H982 that thou rebellest H4775 against me? [21] Now, behold, thou trustest H982 upon H5921§ the staff H4938 of this bruised H7533 reed, H7070 even upon Egypt, H4714 on H5921 which H834 if a man H376 lean, H5564 it will go H935 into his hand, H3709 and pierce H5344 it: so is Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 unto all that trust H982 on him. [22] But if ye say H559 unto H413 me, We trust H982 in the Lord H3068 our God: H430 H853 is not that he, whose high places H1116 and whose altars H4196 Hezekiah H2396 hath taken away, H5493 and hath said H559 to Judah H3063 and Jerusalem, H3389 Ye shall worship H7812 before H6440 this H2088 altar H4196 in Jerusalem? H3389 [23] Now H6258 therefore, I pray thee, give pledges H6148§ to my lord H113 the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and I will deliver H5414 thee two thousand H505 horses, H5483 if thou be able H3201 on H5921 thy part to set H5414 riders H7392 upon them. [24] How then wilt thou turn away H7725 H853 the face H6440 of one H259 captain H6346 of the least H6996 of my master’s H113 servants, H5650 and put thy trust H982 on H5921 Egypt H4714 for chariots H7393 and for horsemen? H6571 [25] Am I now come up H5927 without H1107 the Lord H3068 against H5921 this place H4725 to destroy H7843 it? The Lord H3068 said H559 to me, Go up H5927 against H5921 this land, H776 and destroy H7843 it. [26] Then said H559 Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah, H2518 and Shebna, H7644 and Joah, H3098 unto H413 Rab-shakeh, H7262 Speak, H1696 I pray thee, to thy servants H5650 in the Syrian language; H762 for H3588 we understand H8085 it: and talk H1696 not H408 with H5973 us in the Jews’ language H3066 in the ears H241 of the people H5971 that are on the wall. H2346 [27] But Rab-shakeh H7262 said H559 unto H413 them, Hath my master H113 sent H7971 me to thy master, H113 and to thee, to speak H1696 H853 these H428 words? H1697 hath he not sent me to the men H582 which sit H3427 on H5921 the wall, H2346 that they may eat H398 H853 their own dung, H6675 H2755 and drink H8354 their own piss H4325 H7272 H7890 with you?§ [28] Then Rab-shakeh H7262 stood H5975 and cried H7121 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 in the Jews’ language, H3066 and spake, H1696 saying, H559 Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the great H1419 king, H4428 the king H4428 of Assyria: H804 [29] Thus H3541 saith H559 the king, H4428 Let not Hezekiah H2396 deceive H5377 you: for he shall not be able H3201 to deliver H5337 you out of his hand: H3027 [30] neither let Hezekiah H2396 make you trust H982 in the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 The Lord H3068 will surely H5337 deliver H5337 H853 us, and this city H5892 shall not be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Assyria. H804 [31] Hearken H8085 not H408 to Hezekiah: H2396 for H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 Make H6213 an agreement§ with me by a present, H1293 and come out H3318 to me, and then eat H398 ye every man H376 of his own vine, H1612 and every one H376 of his fig tree, H8384 and drink H8354 ye every one H376 the waters H4325 of his cistern: H953§ [32] until H5704 I come H935 and take you away H3947 to a land H776 like your own land, H776 a land H776 of corn H1715 and wine, H8492 a land H776 of bread H3899 and vineyards, H3754 a land H776 of oil H3323 olive H2132 and of honey, H1706 that ye may live, H2421 and not die: H4191 and hearken H8085 not unto Hezekiah, H2396 when he persuadeth H5496§ you, saying, H559 The Lord H3068 will deliver H5337 us. [33] Hath any H376 of the gods H430 of the nations H1471 delivered H5337 at all H5337 H853 his land H776 out of the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Assyria? H804 [34] Where are the gods H430 of Hamath, H2574 and of Arpad? H774 where are the gods H430 of Sepharvaim, H5617 Hena, H2012 and Ivah? H5755 have they delivered H5337 H853 Samaria H8111 out of mine hand? H3027 [35] Who are they among all the gods H430 of the countries, H776 that have delivered H5337 their country H776 out of mine hand, H3027 that the Lord H3068 should deliver H5337 H853 Jerusalem H3389 out of mine hand? H3027 [36] But the people H5971 held their peace, H2790 and answered H6030 him not a word: H1697 for H3588 the king’s H4428 commandment H4687 was, saying, H559 Answer H6030 him not. [37] Then came H935 Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah, H2518 which was over the household, H1004 and Shebna H7644 the scribe, H5608 and Joah H3098 the son H1121 of Asaph H623 the recorder, H2142 to Hezekiah H2396 with their clothes H899 rent, H7167 and told H5046 him the words H1697 of Rab-shakeh.
