9 H310 After H5576 this Sennacherib H4428 king H804 of Assyria H7971 [H8804] sent H5650 his servants H3389 to Jerusalem H3923 , (but he himself laid siege against Lachish H4475 , and all his power H3169 with him,) to Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H3063 , and to all Judah H3389 that were at Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying,

10 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H5576 Sennacherib H4428 king H804 of Assyria H982 [H8802] , On what do ye trust H3427 [H8802] , that ye abide H4692 in the siege H3389 in Jerusalem?

11 H3169 Doth not Hezekiah H5496 [H8688] persuade H5414 [H8800] you to give H4191 [H8800] over yourselves to die H7458 by famine H6772 and by thirst H559 [H8800] , saying H3068 , The LORD H430 our God H5337 [H8686] shall deliver H3709 us out of the hand H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria?

12 H3169 Hath not the same Hezekiah H5493 [H8689] taken away H1116 his high places H4196 and his altars H559 [H8799] , and commanded H3063 Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying H7812 [H8691] , Ye shall worship H6440 before H259 one H4196 altar H6999 [H8686] , and burn incense upon it?

13 H3045 [H8799] Know H1 ye not what I and my fathers H6213 [H8804] have done H5971 to all the people H776 of other lands H430 ? were the gods H1471 of the nations H776 of those lands H3201 [H8800] any ways H3201 [H8804] able H5337 [H8687] to deliver H776 their lands H3027 out of my hand?

14 H430 Who was there among all the gods H1471 of those nations H1 that my fathers H2763 [H8689] utterly destroyed H3201 [H8804] , that could H5337 [H8687] deliver H5971 his people H3027 out of my hand H430 , that your God H3201 [H8799] should be able H5337 [H8687] to deliver H3027 you out of my hand?

15 H3808 Now therefore let not H2396 Hezekiah H5377 [H8686] deceive H5496 [H8686] you, nor persuade H539 [H8686] you in this manner, neither yet believe H433 him: for no god H1471 of any nation H4467 or kingdom H3201 [H8799] hath been able H5337 [H8687] to deliver H5971 his people H3027 out of my hand H3027 , and out of the hand H1 of my fathers H430 : how much less shall your God H5337 [H8686] deliver H3027 you out of my hand?

16 H5650 And his servants H1696 [H8765] spoke H3068 yet more against the LORD H430 God H5650 , and against his servant H3169 Hezekiah.

17 H3789 [H8804] He wrote H5612 also letters H2778 [H8763] to rail H3068 at the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H559 [H8800] , and to speak H559 [H8800] against him, saying H430 , As the gods H1471 of the nations H776 of other lands H5337 [H8689] have not delivered H5971 their people H3027 out of my hand H430 , so shall not the God H3169 of Hezekiah H5337 [H8686] deliver H5971 his people H3027 out of my hand.

18 H7121 [H8799] Then they cried H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H3066 in the Jews' speech H5971 to the people H3389 of Jerusalem H2346 that were on the wall H3372 [H8763] , to make them afraid H926 [H8763] , and to trouble H3920 [H8799] them; that they might take H5892 the city.

19 H1696 [H8762] And they spoke H5921 against H430 the God H3389 of Jerusalem H430 , as against the gods H5971 of the people H776 of the earth H4639 , the work H3027 of the hands H120 of man.

20 H3169 And for this cause Hezekiah H4428 the king H5030 , and the prophet H3470 Isaiah H1121 the son H531 of Amoz H6419 [H8691] , prayed H2199 [H8799] and cried H8064 to heaven.

21 H3068 And the LORD H7971 [H8799] sent H4397 an angel H3582 [H8686] , who cut off H1368 all the mighty men H2428 of valour H5057 , and the leaders H8269 and captains H4264 in the camp H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria H7725 [H8799] . So he returned H1322 with shame H6440 of face H776 to his own land H935 [H8799] . And when he had come H1004 into the house H430 of his god H3329 , they that came forth H4578 from his own bowels H5307 [H8689] slew H2719 him there with the sword.

22 H3068 Thus the LORD H3467 [H8686] saved H3169 Hezekiah H3427 [H8802] and the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem H3027 from the hand H5576 of Sennacherib H4428 the king H804 of Assyria H3027 , and from the hand H5095 [H8762] of all others, and guided H5439 them on every side.

23 H7227 And many H935 [H8688] brought H4503 gifts H3068 to the LORD H3389 to Jerusalem H4030 , and presents H3169 to Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H310 : so that from then on H5375 [H8735] he was magnified H5869 in the sight H1471 of all nations.
