1 Now it came about in the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elahking of Israel, that Hezekiahthe son of Ahazking of Judah became king. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Abithe daughter of Zechariah. 3 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in accordance with everything that his father Davidhad done. 4 He removed the high places and smashed the memorial stones to pieces, and cut down the 18:4 I.e., a wooden symbol of a female deityAsherah. He also crushed to pieces the bronze serpent that Moseshad made, for until those days the sons of Israelhad been burning incense to it; and it was called 18:4 I.e., a bronze sculptureNehushtan. 5 He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel; and after him there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who came before him. 6 For he clung to the Lord; he did not desist from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Hezekiah Victorious
7 And the Lord was with him; wherever he went he was successful. And he revolted against the king of Assyriaand did not serve him. 8 He 18:8 Lit struckdefeated the Philistines as far as Gazaand its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.
9 Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hosheason of Elahking of Israel, Shalmaneserking of Assyriamarched against Samariaand besieged it. 10 And at the end of three years they captured it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hosheaking of Israel, Samariawas captured. 11 Then the king of Assyrialed Israel into exile to Assyria, and put them in Halahand on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 12 This happened because they did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, but violated His covenant, all that Mosesthe servant of the Lord had commanded; they would neither listen nor do it.
Invasion of Judah
13 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacheribking of Assyriamarched against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them. 14 Then Hezekiahking of Judah sent messengers to the king of Assyriaat Lachish, saying, "I have done wrong. 18:14 Lit Turn backWithdraw from me; whatever you impose on me I will endure." So the king of Assyriaimposed on Hezekiahking of Judah the payment of three hundred 18:14 A talent was about 75 lb. or 34 kgtalents of silver and thirty talentsof gold. 15 Hezekiahthen gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king’s house. 16 At that time Hezekiahcut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the doorposts, which Hezekiahking of Judah had overlaid, and he gave it to the king of Assyria.
17 Then the king of Assyriasent Tartan, Rab-saris, and Rabshakehfrom Lachishto King Hezekiahwith a large army to Jerusalem. So they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they went up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the road of the 18:17 I.e., launderer’sfuller’s field. 18 Then they called to the king, and Eliakimthe son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the household, Shebnahthe scribe, and Joahthe son of Asaphthe secretary, went out to them.
19 And Rabshakehsaid to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, ‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyriasays: "What is this confidence that you 18:19 Lit trusthave? 20 You say—but they are only 18:20 Lit a word of lipsempty words—‘I have a plan and strength for the war.’ Now on whom have you relied, that you have revolted against me? 21 Now behold, you have 18:21 Lit relied for yourselfrelied on the 18:21 Or staffsupport of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man leans, it will go into his 18:21 Lit palmhand and pierce it. That is how Pharaoh king of Egyptis to all who rely on him. 22 However, if you say to me, ‘We have trusted in the Lord our God,’ is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiahhas removed, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’? 23 Now then, 18:23 Lit please exchange pledgescome make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to put riders on them! 24 How then can you drive back even18:24 Lit the face of oneone 18:24 Or governorofficial of the least of my master’s servants, and 18:24 Lit rely for yourselfrely on Egyptfor chariots and horsemen? 25 Have I now come up without 18:25 Lit the Lordthe Lord’s approval against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’ " ’ "
26 Then Eliakimthe son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, because we 18:26 Lit hearunderstand it; and do not speak with us in 18:26 I.e., HebrewJudean 18:26 Lit in the ears of...wallso that the people who are on the wall hear you." 27 But Rabshakehsaid to them, "Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words? Has he not also sent me to the men who sit on the wall, doomed to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?"
28 Then Rabshakehstood up and shouted with a loud voice in Judean, 18:28 Lit and spoke, saying,saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria! 29 This is what the king says: ‘Do not let Hezekiahdeceive you, for he will not be able to save you from 18:29 MT hismy hand. 30 And do not let Hezekiahlead you to trust in the Lord by saying, "The Lord will certainly save us, and this city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria." 31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyriasays: "Make 18:31 Lit with me a blessingyour peace with me and come out to me, and eat, each one, from his vine and each from his fig tree, and drink, each one, the waters of his own cistern, 32 until I come and take you to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees producing oil, and of honey, so that you will live and not die." But do not listen to Hezekiah, because he misleads you by saying, "The Lord will save us." 33 Has any of the gods of the nations actually saved his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? 34 Where are the gods of Hamathand Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and 18:34 In 2 Kin 17:24, AvvaIvvah? Have they saved Samariafrom my hand? 35 Who among all the gods of the lands are there who have saved their land from my hand, that the Lord would save Jerusalemfrom my hand?’ "
36 But the people were silent and did not answer him with even a word, because it was the king’s 18:36 Lit command, sayingcommand: "Do not answer him." 37 Then Eliakimthe son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the household, and Shebnathe scribe and Joahthe son of Asaph, the secretary, came to Hezekiahwith their clothes torn, and they reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
