2 Kings 18:28-35

Sennacherib Attacks Judah

²⁸ Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah: "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria! ²⁹ Thus says the king: 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of my ₁ hand. ³⁰ Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord by saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.' ³¹ Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: 'Make your peace with me ₂ and come out to me. Then _j each one of you will eat of his own vine, and each one of his own fig tree, and each one of you will drink the water of his own cistern, ³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, _k a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and _l honey, that you may live, and not die. And do not listen to Hezekiah when he misleads you by saying, The Lord will deliver us. ³³ _m Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? ³⁴ _n Where are the gods of _o Hamath and _p Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and _q Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? ³⁵ Who among all the gods of the lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, _r that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"
