18 Do not let Hezekiah (YHWH is my strength) mislead you⁺ when he says, ‘The LORD {YHWH} will deliver us.’ Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria (a step)? 19 Where are the gods of Hamath (fortress) and Arpad (I shall be supported)? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim (the two Sipparas)? Have they delivered Samaria (watch mountain) from my hand? 20 Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD {YHWH} deliver Jerusalem (city of peace) from my hand?” 21 But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.” 22 Then Hilkiah’s (my portion is YHWH) son Eliakim (GGod sets up) the palace administrator, Shebna (vigor) the scribe, and Asaph’s (gatherer) son Joah (YHWH is brother) the recorder came to Hezekiah (YHWH is my strength) with their clothes torn, and they relayed to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
