1 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the fourteenth H702 B-BFS year H8141 NFS of king H4428 NMS Hezekiah H2396 , that Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS came up H5927 against H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the defensed H1219 cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , and took H8610 them .
2 And the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Rab H7262 - shakeh from Lachish H3923 to Jerusalem H3389 unto H413 PREP king H4428 NMS Hezekiah H2396 with a great H3515 VQS3MS army H2428 . And he stood H5975 by the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool H1295 in the highway H4546 of the fuller H3526 \'s field H7704 CMS .
3 Then came forth H3318 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him Eliakim H471 , Hilkiah H2518 \'s son H1121 , which H834 RPRO was over H5921 PREP the house H1004 , and Shebna H7644 the scribe H5608 , and Joah H3098 , Asaph H623 \'s son H1121 , the recorder H2142 .
4 And Rab H7262 - shakeh said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Say H559 W-VQY3MS ye now H4994 IJEC to H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the great H1419 D-AMS king H4428 NMS , the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , What H4100 IGAT confidence H986 is this H2088 D-PMS wherein H834 RPRO thou trustest H982 ?
5 I say H559 VQQ1MS , sayest H389 ADV thou H389 ADV , ( ADV but H389 ADV they are but vain H8193 NFD words H1697 CMS ) I have counsel H6098 NFS and strength H1369 W-NFS for war H4421 : now H6258 ADV on H5921 PREP whom H4310 IPRO dost thou trust H982 , that H3588 CONJ thou rebellest H4775 against me ?
6 Lo H2009 IJEC , thou trustest H982 in H5921 PREP the staff H4938 of this H2088 D-PMS broken H7533 reed H7070 , on H5921 PREP Egypt H4714 EFS ; whereon H834 RPRO if a man H376 NMS lean H5564 , it will go H935 into his hand H3709 , and pierce H5344 it : so H3651 ADV is Pharaoh H6547 EMS king H4428 NMS of Egypt H4714 EFS to all H3605 that trust H982 in H5921 PREP him .
7 But H3588 W-CONJ if thou say H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP me , We trust H982 in H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 : is it not H3808 D-NPAR he H1931 PPRO-3MS , whose H834 RPRO high places H1116 and whose altars H4196 Hezekiah H2396 hath taken away H5493 VHQ3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS to Judah H3063 and to Jerusalem H3389 , Ye shall worship H7812 before H6440 L-CMP this H2088 D-PMS altar H4196 D-NMS ?
8 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore give pledges H6149 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , to H854 PREP my master H113 the king H4428 D-NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , and I will give H5414 thee two thousand H505 horses H5483 , if H518 PART thou be able H3201 VQI2MS on thy part to set H5414 riders H7392 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
9 How H349 W-IJEC then wilt thou turn away H7725 the face H6440 CMP of one H259 captain H6346 of the least H6996 of my master H113 \'s servants H5650 , and put thy trust H982 on H5921 PREP Egypt H4714 EFS for chariots H7393 and for horsemen H6571 ?
10 And am I now H6258 W-ADV come up H5927 without H1107 the LORD H3068 EDS against H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS to destroy H7843 it ? the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP me , Go up H5927 against H413 PREP this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS , and destroy H7843 it .
11 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Eliakim H471 and Shebna H7644 and Joah H3098 unto H413 PREP Rab H7262 - shakeh , Speak H1696 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , unto H413 PREP thy servants H5650 in the Syrian language H762 ; for H3588 CONJ we H587 understand H8085 it : and speak H1696 not H408 W-NPAR to H413 PREP us in the Jews\' language H3066 , in the ears H241 of the people H5971 that H834 RPRO are on H5921 PREP the wall H2346 .
12 But Rab H7262 - shakeh said H559 W-VQY3MS , Hath my master H113 sent H7971 me to H413 thy master H113 and to H413 W-PREP-2MS thee to speak H1696 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP ? hath he not H3808 I-NADV sent me to H5921 PREP the men H376 D-NMP that sit H3427 upon H5921 PREP the wall H2346 , that they may eat H398 L-VQFC their own dung H6675 , and drink H8354 WL-VQFC their own piss H4325 with H5973 you ?
13 Then Rab H7262 - shakeh stood H5975 , and cried H7121 W-VQY3MS with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 in the Jews\' language H3066 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Hear H8085 VQI2MP ye the words H1697 CMP of the great H1419 AMS king H4428 NMS , the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 .
14 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , Let not H408 NPAR Hezekiah H2396 deceive H5377 you : for H3588 CONJ he shall not H3808 ADV be able H3201 VQY3MS to deliver H5337 L-VHFC you .
15 Neither H408 W-NPAR let Hezekiah H2396 make you trust H982 in H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 L-VQFC , The LORD H3068 EDS will surely deliver H5337 us : this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS shall not H3808 NADV be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 .
16 Hearken H8085 not H408 ADV to H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 : for H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the king H4428 D-NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , Make H6213 an agreement with H854 PREP-1MS me by a present H1293 , and come out H3318 to H413 PREP me : and eat H398 ye every one H376 NMS of his vine H1612 , and every one H376 NMS of his fig tree H8384 , and drink H8354 W-VQI2MP ye every one H376 NMS the waters H4325 of his own cistern H953 ;
17 Until H5704 PREP I come H935 and take you away H3947 to H413 PREP a land H776 GFS like your own land H776 , a land H776 GFS of corn H1715 and wine H8492 , a land H776 GFS of bread H3899 NMS and vineyards H3754 .
18 Beware lest H6435 CONJ Hezekiah H2396 persuade H5496 you , saying H559 L-VQFC , The LORD H3068 EDS will deliver H5337 us . Hath any H376 NMS of the gods H430 CDP of the nations H1471 D-NMP delivered H5337 his land H776 out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 ?
19 Where H346 IGAT are the gods H430 CDP of Hamath H2574 and Arphad H774 ? where H346 IGAT are the gods H430 CDP of Sepharvaim H5617 ? and H3588 have they delivered H5337 Samaria H8111 out of my hand H3027 ?
20 Who H4310 IPRO are they among all H3605 B-CMS the gods H430 CDP of these H428 D-DPRO-3MP lands H776 , that H834 RPRO have delivered H5337 their land H776 out of my hand H3027 , that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS should deliver H5337 Jerusalem H3389 out of my hand H3027 ?
21 But they held their peace H2790 , and answered H6030 VQQ3MP him not H3808 ADV a word H1697 VQPMS : for H3588 CONJ the king H4428 D-NMS \'s commandment H4687 CFS was , saying H559 L-VQFC , Answer H6030 him not H3808 NADV .
22 Then came H935 W-VQY3MS Eliakim H471 , the son H1121 of Hilkiah H2518 , that H834 RPRO was over H5921 PREP the household H1004 D-NMS , and Shebna H7644 the scribe H5608 , and Joah H3098 , the son H1121 of Asaph H623 , the recorder H2142 , to H413 PREP Hezekiah H2396 with their clothes H899 rent H7167 , and told H5046 him the words H1697 CMP of Rab H7262 - shakeh .
