1 And it will be when King Hezekiah heard and he will rend his garments and cover himself with sackcloth, and go into the house of Jehovah. 2 And he will send Eliakim who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the old men of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos. 3 And they will say to him, Thus said Hezekiah, A day of straits and chastisement and reproach this day: for the sons came to the breaking forth, and no strength to her bringing forth. 4 Perhaps Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh which the king of Assur his lord sent him to reproach the living God; and he will decide upon the words which Jehovah thy God beard: and lift thou up a prayer for the remnant being found. 5 And the servants of the king Hezekiah will come to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah will say to them, Thus shall ye say to your lord, Thus said Jehovah, Thou shalt not be afraid from before the words which thou heardest with which the boys of the king of Assur reviled me. 7 Behold me giving upon him a spirit, and he heard a hearing, and he turned back to his land; and I caused him to fall by the sword in his land. 8 And Rabshakeh will turn back and find the king of Assur warring against Libnah: for he heard that he removed from Lachish. 9 And he will hear Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, Behold, he came forth to war with thee: and he will turn back and send messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10 Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Thy God will not lift thee up whom thou trustest in him, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assur. 11 Behold, thou heardest what the kings of Assur did to all lands to destroy them: and shalt thou be delivered? 12 Did the gods of the nations deliver them which my fathers destroyed Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the sons of Eden who were in Thelasar? 13 Where the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king to the city of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivah? 2 Kings 19:1-13, Smith's Literal Translation.
