Second Kings chapter 18 verses 13 through 37 Scenic arab attacks Judah. In the 14th year of King Hezekiah, Seneca rib, King of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. And Hezekiah, King of Judah sent to the King of Assyria at Laci's saying, I have done wrong, withdraw from me. Whatever you impose on me, I will bear in. The King of Assyria required of Hezekiah, King of Judah 300 talents of silver and 30 talents of gold and Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king's house. At that time, Hezekiah stripped the gold from the doors of the Temple of the Lord and from the door posts that Hezekiah, King of Judah had over laid and gave it to the King of Assyria. Mhm. And the king of Assyria sent the tartan, the rab saris and the rab Sheikha with a great army from Hashish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem And they went up and came to Jerusalem. When they arrived they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool which is on the highway to the washer's field. And when they called for the king there came out to them. Elyakim, the son of Halkia, who was over the household. And she Edna, the secretary and Joshua, the son of Assaf, the recorder in the rab Shaka, said to them, say to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the King of Assyria. On what do you rest? This Trust of yours? Do you think that mere words, our strategy and power for war, and whom do you know? Trust? And you have rebelled against me? Behold, you are trusting now in Egypt that broken read of a staff which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it, such as pharaoh, King of Egypt to all who trust in him. But if you say to me, we trust in the Lord our God. Is it not he whose high places and alters? Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah into Jerusalem. You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem. Come now make a wager with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you 2000 horses, for you are able on your part to set riders on them. How, then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master's servants? When you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen, moreover, is it without the Lord that I have come up against this place? To destroy it? The Lord said to me, go up against this land and destroy it. Then Elyakim, the son of hill Kaaya, and she BNA in jawa said to the reb Shaka, please speak to your servants in Aramaic. For we understand it. Do not speak to us in the language of Judah, within the hearing of the people who are on the wall. But the rep Chaka said to them, has my master sent me to speak these words to your master into you and not to the men sitting on the wall who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine. Then the reb Shaka stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah. Hear the word of the great king. The King of Assyria. Thus says, the king do not let Hezekiah deceive you for he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand. Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord. By saying the Lord, we'll surely deliver us in this city will not be given into the hand of the King of Assyria. Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus, says the King of Assyria, make your peace with me and come out to me. Then each one of you will eat of his own vine and each one of his own fig tree. And each one of you will drink the water, water of his own cistern until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine and a land of bread and vineyards, A land of olive trees and honey, that you may live and not die and do not listen to Hezekiah when he misleads you by saying the Lord will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the King of Assyria. Where are the gods of Hama and Arpad? Where are the gods of CFR volume in Hannah and Eva have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? Who among all the gods of the lands, have delivered their lands out of my hand that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand. But the people were silent and answered him. Not a word for the king's command was do not answer him. Then Elyakim, the son of Al Qaeda, who was over the household in She BNA, the secretary in Joshua, the son of Isaf, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of Reb Shaka.
