strkjv@Isaiah:36:1
@ Now it came to pass in the
fourteenth
H6240
year
of
king
Hezekiah
, that
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
came
up
against all the
defenced
cities
of
Judah
, and
took
them.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:2
@ And the
king
of
Assyria
sent
Rabshakeh
from
Lachish
to
Jerusalem
unto
king
Hezekiah
with a
great
army
. And he
stood
by the
conduit
of the
upper
pool
in the
highway
of the
fullers
field
.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:3
@ Then came
forth
unto him
Eliakim
,
Hilkiahs
son
, which was over the
house
, and
Shebna
the
scribe
, and
Joah
,
Asaphs
son
, the
recorder
.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:4
@ And
Rabshakeh
said
unto them,
Say
ye now to
Hezekiah
, Thus
saith
the
great
king
, the
king
of
Assyria
, What
confidence
is this wherein thou
trustest
?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:5
@ I
say
, sayest thou, (but they are but
vain
words
) I have
counsel
and
strength
for
war
: now on whom dost thou
trust
, that thou
rebellest
against me?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:6
@ Lo, thou
trustest
in the
staff
of this
broken
reed
, on
Egypt
; whereon if a
man
lean
, it will
go
into his
hand
, and
pierce
it: so is
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
to all that
trust
in him.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:7
@ But if thou
say
to me, We
trust
in the
LORD
our
God
: is it not he, whose high
places
and whose
altars
Hezekiah
hath taken
away
, and
said
to
Judah
and to
Jerusalem
, Ye shall
worship
before
this
altar
?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:8
@ Now therefore give
pledges
, I pray thee, to my
master
the
king
of
Assyria
, and I will
give
thee two
thousand
horses
, if thou be
able
on thy part to
set
riders
upon them.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:9
@ How then wilt thou turn
away
the
face
of
one
captain
of the
least
of my
masters
servants
, and put thy
trust
on
Egypt
for
chariots
and for
horsemen
?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:10
@ And am I now come
up
without
the
LORD
against this
land
to
destroy
it? the
LORD
said
unto me, Go
up
against this
land
, and
destroy
it.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:11
@ Then
said
Eliakim
and
Shebna
and
Joah
unto
Rabshakeh
,
Speak
, I pray thee, unto thy
servants
in the Syrian
language
; for we
understand
it: and
speak
not to us in the Jews
language
, in the
ears
of the
people
that are on the
wall
.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:12
@ But
Rabshakeh
said
, Hath my
master
sent
me to thy
master
and to thee to
speak
these
words
? hath he not sent me to the
men
that
sit
upon the
wall
, that they may
eat
their own
dung
, and
drink
their own
piss
with you?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:13
@ Then
Rabshakeh
stood
, and
cried
with a
loud
voice
in the Jews
language
, and
said
,
Hear
ye the
words
of the
great
king
, the
king
of
Assyria
.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:14
@ Thus
saith
the
king
, Let not
Hezekiah
deceive
you: for he shall not be
able
to
deliver
you.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:15
@ Neither let
Hezekiah
make you
trust
in the
LORD
,
saying
, The
LORD
will
surely
deliver
us: this
city
shall not be
delivered
into the
hand
of the
king
of
Assyria
.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:16
@
Hearken
not to
Hezekiah
: for thus
saith
the
king
of
Assyria
,
Make
an agreement with me by a
present
, and come
out
to me: and
eat
ye every
one
of his
vine
, and every
one
of his fig
tree
t@, and
drink
ye every
one
the
waters
of his own
cistern
;
strkjv@Isaiah:36:17
@ Until I
come
and take you
away
to a
land
like your own
land
, a
land
of
corn
and
wine
, a
land
of
bread
and
vineyards
.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:18
@ Beware lest
Hezekiah
persuade
you,
saying
, The
LORD
will
deliver
us. Hath
any
of the
gods
of the
nations
delivered
his
land
out of the
hand
of the
king
of
Assyria
?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:19
@ Where are the
gods
of
Hamath
and
Arphad
? where are the
gods
of
Sepharvaim
? and have they
delivered
Samaria
out of my
hand
?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:20
@ Who are they among all the
gods
of these
lands
, that have
delivered
their
land
out of my
hand
, that the
LORD
should
deliver
Jerusalem
out of my
hand
?
strkjv@Isaiah:36:21
@ But they held their
peace
, and
answered
him not a
word
: for the
kings
commandment
was,
saying
,
Answer
him not.
strkjv@Isaiah:36:22
@ Then
came
Eliakim
, the
son
of
Hilkiah
, that was over the
household
, and
Shebna
the
scribe
, and
Joah
, the
son
of
Asaph
, the
recorder
, to
Hezekiah
with their
clothes
rent
, and
told
him the
words
of
Rabshakeh
