10 “Give this message to Hezekiah (YHWH is my strength) king of Judah (praised): ‘Do not let your God {Eloheka}, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem (city of peace) will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria (a step). 11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria (a step) have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction {cherem}. Will you then be spared? 12 Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan (a cutting off), Haran (mountaineer), and Rezeph (a hot stone), and of the people of Eden (pleasure) in Telassar (Assyrian hill)? 13 Where are the kings of Hamath (fortress), Arpad (I shall be supported), Sepharvaim (the two Sipparas), Hena (troubling), and Ivvah (ruin)?’” Isaiah 37:10-13, Berean Annotated Bible.
