therefore behold, the Lord shall bring upon you the water of the river, strong and abundant, [even] the king of the Assyrians, and his glory; and he shall come up over every valley of yours, and shall walk over every wall of yours;

and he shall take away from Judah [every] man who shall be able to lift up his head, [and everyone] able to accomplish anything; and his camp shall fill the breadth of your land, [O] Immanuel.

Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of My wrath and anger are in their hands.

I will send My wrath against a sinful nation, and I will command My people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make dust out of them.

Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah, [that] Sennacherib, king of the Assyrians, came up against the strong cities of Judah, and took them.

And there went forth to him Eliakim the steward, the [son] of Hilkiah, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the [son] of Asaph, the recorder.

Is war carried on with counsel and [mere] words of the lips? And now on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

But if you say, We trust in the Lord our God;

And how can you [then] turn to the face of the satraps? They that trust on the Egyptians for horse and rider are [our] servants.

Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to him, Speak to your servants in the Syrian tongue; for we understand [it]; and speak not to us in the Jewish tongue; and why do you speak in the ears of the men on the wall?

And Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians:

And let not Hezekiah say to you, That God will deliver you, and this city will not at all be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.

until I come and take you to a land, like your own land, a land of grain and wine, and bread and vineyards.

Where is the god of Hamath, and Arpad? And where is the god of Sepharvaim? Have they been able to deliver Samaria out of my hand?

And they were silent, and none answered him a word; because the king had commanded that none should answer.

And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that] Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

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

He trusted in the Lord God of Israel. And after him there was none like him among the kings of Judah, nor among those that were before him.

And the Lord was with him; and he was wise in all that he undertook. And he revolted from the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.

And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah (this is the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel), [that] Shalmaneser king of the Assyrians came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

And the king of the Assyrians carried away the Samaritans to Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor, [by] the River Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes;

And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against the strong cities of Judah, and took them.

And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.

And the king of the Assyrians sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a strong force against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is by the way of the fuller's field.

and Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the king, the great king of the Assyrians: What confidence [is] this in which you trust?

For the Lord humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Judah, because he grievously departed from the Lord.

And Ahaz took the things [that were] in the house of the Lord, and the things in the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria; but he was no help to him,

And after these things and this faithful dealing, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came to Judah, and he encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to take them for himself.

And he took counsel with his elders and his mighty [men] to stop the wells of water which were outside the city; and they helped him.

And Hezekiah strengthened [himself], and built all the wall that had been pulled down, and the towers, and another wall outside, and fortified the strong place of the City of David, and prepared arms in abundance.

Be strong and courageous, and fear not, neither be dismayed before the king of Assyria, and before all the nation that [is] with him: for [there are] more with us than with him.

And afterward Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem; and [he went] himself against Lachish, and all his army with him, and sent to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that [was] in Jerusalem, saying,

Does not Hezekiah deceive you, to deliver you to death and famine and thirst, saying, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the nations of the countries? Could the gods of the nations of all the earth rescue their people out of my hand?

Now then, let not Hezekiah deceive you, and let him not make you thus confident, and believe him not, for no god of any kingdom or nation is at all able to deliver his people out of my hand, or the hand of my fathers; therefore your God shall not deliver you out of my hand.

And he wrote a letter to reproach the Lord God of Israel, and spoke concerning Him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the earth have not delivered their people out of my hand, so the God of Hezekiah shall by no means deliver His people out of my hand.

And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, even as against the gods of the nations of the earth, the works of the hands of men.

And the Lord sent an angel, and He destroyed every mighty man and warrior, and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria; and he returned with shame of face to his own land and came into the house of his god. And [some] of his own offspring killed him with the sword.

And many brought gifts to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah; and he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations after these things.

But Hezekiah did not recompense the Lord according to the favor shown him, but his heart was lifted up. And wrath came upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

And Hezekiah had wealth and very great glory. And he made for himself treasuries of gold, silver, and precious stones, also for spices and stores for arms, and for precious vessels;

and cities which he built for himself, and store of sheep and oxen in abundance, for the Lord gave him a very great store.

Notwithstanding, in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who were sent to him, to inquire of him [concerning] the wonders which came upon the land, the Lord left him, to test him, to know what was in his heart.

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in a high place among the tombs of the sons of David. And all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem gave him glory and honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the armies of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasseh in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.

And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers; and Jeconiah his son reigned in his place.

And at the turn of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his father's brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God; he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremiah, nor because of the word of the Lord;

And all the great men of Judah, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.

Nevertheless they sneered at His messengers, and despised His words, and mocked His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against His people, till there was no remedy.

And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.

And he carried away the remnant to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until [the establishment of] the kingdom of the Medes,

And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping Your covenant and Your mercy, let not all this trouble seem little in Your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all Your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria even to this day.

And all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? Neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Depart, O Israel, to your tents; now feed your own house, David.

And the king sent Adoniram who was over the tribute; and they stoned him with stones, and he died. And King Rehoboam made haste to rise and flee to Jerusalem.

for the king did not hearken to them. And the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David, or [what] inheritance [have we] in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! See now to your own house, O David! So all Israel went to their tents.

And King Rehoboam sent Hadoram to them, who was over the tribute. And the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And King Rehoboam hastened to mount [his] chariot, [and] to flee to Jerusalem.
