1 In the third year of the reign of Hosheason of Elahas king of Israel, Hezekiahson of Ahazbecame king of Judah 2 at the age of twenty-five, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor twenty-nine years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 3 Following the example of his ancestor King David, he did what was pleasing to the Lord. 4 Nu 21.9He destroyed the pagan places of worship, broke the stone pillars, and cut down the images of the goddess Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze snake that Moseshad made, which was called Nehushtan. Up to that time the people of Israelhad burned incense in its honor. 5 Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel; Judah never had another king like him, either before or after his time. 6 He was faithful to the Lordand never disobeyed him, but carefully kept all the commands that the Lordhad given Moses. 7 So the Lordwas with him, and he was successful in everything he did. He rebelled against the emperor of Assyriaand refused to submit to him. 8 He defeated the Philistines and raided their settlements, from the smallest village to the largest city, including Gazaand its surrounding territory.
9 In the fourth year of Hezekiah’s reign—which was the seventh year of King Hoshea’s reign over Israel—Emperor Shalmaneserof Assyriainvaded Israel and besieged Samaria. 10 In the third year of the siege Samariafell; this was the sixth year of Hezekiah’s reign and the ninth year of Hoshea’s reign. 11 The Assyrianemperor18.11: Assyrian emperor: See 17.6.took the Israelites to Assyriaas prisoners and settled some of them in the city of Halah, some near the Habor Riverin the district of Gozan, and some in the cities of Media.
12 Samaria fell because the Israelites did not obey the Lordtheir God, but broke the covenant he had made with them and disobeyed all the laws given by Moses, the servant of the Lord. They would not listen and they would not obey.
13 In the fourteenth year of the reign of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib, the emperor of Assyria, attacked the fortified cities of Judah and conquered them. 14 Hezekiahsent a message to Sennacherib, who was in Lachish: "I have done wrong; please stop your attack, and I will pay whatever you demand." The emperor’s answer was that Hezekiahshould send him ten tons of silver and one ton of gold. 15 Hezekiahsent him all the silver in the Temple and in the palace treasury; 16 he also stripped the gold from the temple doors and the gold with which he himself had covered the doorposts, and he sent it all to Sennacherib. 17 The Assyrianemperor sent a large army from Lachishto attack Hezekiahat Jerusalem; it was commanded by his three highest officials. When they arrived at Jerusalem, they occupied the road where the cloth makers work by the ditch that brings water from the upper pool. 18 Then they sent for King Hezekiah, and three of his officials went out to meet them: Eliakimson of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace; Shebna, the court secretary; and Joahson of Asaph, who was in charge of the records. 19 One of the Assyrianofficials told them that the emperor wanted to know what made King Hezekiahso confident. 20 He demanded, "Do you think that words can take the place of military skill and might? Who do you think will help you rebel against Assyria? 21 You are expecting Egyptto help you, but that would be like using a reed as a walking stick—it would break and jab your hand. That is what the king of Egyptis like when anyone relies on him."
22 The Assyrian official went on, "Or will you tell me that you are relying on the Lordyour God? It was the Lord's shrines and altars that Hezekiahdestroyed, when he told the people of Judah and Jerusalemto worship only at the altar in Jerusalem. 23 I will make a bargain with you in the name of the emperor. I will give you two thousand horses if you can find that many men to ride them! 24 You are no match for even the lowest ranking Assyrian official, and yet you expect the Egyptiansto send you chariots and cavalry! 25 Do you think I have attacked your country and destroyed it without the Lord's help? The Lordhimself told me to attack it and destroy it."
26 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joahtold the official, "Speak Aramaic to us, sir. We understand it. Don’t speak Hebrew; all the people on the wall are listening."
27 He replied, "Do you think you and the king are the only ones the emperor sent me to say all these things to? No, I am also talking to the people who are sitting on the wall, who will have to eat their excrement and drink their urine, just as you will."
28 Then the official stood up and shouted in Hebrew, "Listen to what the emperor of Assyriais telling you! 29 He warns you not to let Hezekiahdeceive you. Hezekiahcan’t save you. 30 And don’t let him persuade you to rely on the Lord. Don’t think that the Lordwill save you and that he will stop our Assyrianarmy from capturing your city. 31 Don’t listen to Hezekiah. The emperor of Assyriacommands you to come out of the city and surrender. You will all be allowed to eat grapes from your own vines and figs from your own trees, and to drink water from your own wells— 32 until the emperor resettles you in a country much like your own, where there are vineyards to give wine and there is grain for making bread; it is a land of olives, olive oil, and honey. If you do what he commands, you will not die, but live. Don’t let Hezekiahfool you into thinking that the Lordwill rescue you. 33 Did the gods of any other nations save their countries from the emperor of Assyria? 34 Where are they now, the gods of Hamathand Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Did anyone save Samaria? 35 When did any of the gods of all these countries ever save their country from our emperor? Then what makes you think the Lordcan save Jerusalem?"
36 The people kept quiet, just as King Hezekiah had told them to; they did not say a word. 37 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joahtore their clothes in grief, and went and reported to the king what the Assyrian official had said.
