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.
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.

And he did
that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD,
according to all that David
his father
did.
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.

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.
For he clave
to the LORD,
and departed
not from following
him, but kept
his commandments,
which the LORD
commanded
Moses.
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.
He smote
the Philistines,
even unto Gaza,
and the borders
thereof, from the tower
of the watchmen
to the fenced
city.
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.

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.
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:

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.
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.

And Hezekiah
king

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.

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.
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.

with a great

against Jerusalem.
And they went up
and came
to Jerusalem.
And when they were come up,
they came

And when they had called
to the king,
there came out
to them Eliakim

which was over the household,
and Shebna
the scribe,
and Joah
the son
of Asaph

And Rabshakeh
said
unto them, Speak

that thou rebellest
against me?
Now, behold, thou trustest
upon the staff
of this bruised

even upon Egypt,
on which if a man
lean,
it will go
into his hand,
and pierce
it: so is Pharaoh

unto all that trust
on him.

But if ye say
unto me, We trust

Hezekiah
hath taken away,

to Judah

Ye shall worship

this altar

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.

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

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:
Thus saith
the king,
Let not Hezekiah
deceive
you: for he shall not be able
to deliver
you out of his hand:
Neither let Hezekiah
make you trust
in the LORD,
saying,
The LORD
will surely
deliver
us, and this city
shall not be delivered
into the hand
of the king
of Assyria.

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:

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.
Hath any
of the gods
of the nations
delivered
at all
his land
out of the hand
of the king
of Assyria?
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?
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?
But the people
held their peace,
and answered
him not a word:
for the king's
commandment
was, saying,
Answer
him not.
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.
