@ Now it came to pass in the
third
year
of
Hoshea
son
of
Elah
king
of
Israel
, that
Hezekiah
the
son
of
Ahaz
king
of
Judah
began to
reign
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:2
@
Twenty
and
five
years
old
was he when he began to
reign
; and he
reigned
twenty
and
nine
years
in
Jerusalem
. His
mothers
name
also was
Abi
, the
daughter
of
Zachariah
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:3
@ And he
did
that which was
right
in the
sight
of the
LORD
, according to all that
David
his
father
did
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:4
@ He
removed
the high
places
, and
brake
the
images
, and cut
down
the
groves
, and brake in
pieces
the
brasen
serpent
that
Moses
had
made
: for unto those
days
the
children
of
Israel
did burn
incense
to it: and he
called
it
Nehushtan
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:5
@ He
trusted
in the
LORD
God
of
Israel
; so that
after
him was none like him among all the
kings
of
Judah
, nor any that were
before
him.
strkjv@2Kings:18:6
@ For he
clave
to the
LORD
, and
departed
not from
following
him, but
kept
his
commandments
, which the
LORD
commanded
Moses
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:7
@ And the
LORD
was with him; and he
prospered
whithersoever he went
forth
: and he
rebelled
against the
king
of
Assyria
, and
served
him not.
strkjv@2Kings:18:8
@ He
smote
the
Philistines
, even unto
Gaza
, and the
borders
thereof, from the
tower
of the
watchmen
to the
fenced
city
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:9
@ And it came to pass in the
fourth
year
of
king
Hezekiah
, which was the
seventh
year
of
Hoshea
son
of
Elah
king
of
Israel
, that
Shalmaneser
king
of
Assyria
came
up
against
Samaria
, and
besieged
it.
strkjv@2Kings:18:10
@ And at the
end
of
three
years
they
took
it: even in the
sixth
year
of
Hezekiah
, that is the
ninth
year
of
Hoshea
king
of
Israel
,
Samaria
was
taken
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:11
@ And the
king
of
Assyria
did carry
away
Israel
unto
Assyria
, and
put
them in
Halah
and in
Habor
by the
river
of
Gozan
, and in the
cities
of the
Medes
:
strkjv@2Kings:18:12
@ Because they
obeyed
not the
voice
of the
LORD
their
God
, but
transgressed
his
covenant
, and all that
Moses
the
servant
of the
LORD
commanded
, and would not
hear
them, nor
do
them.
strkjv@2Kings:18:13
@ Now in the
fourteenth
H6240
year
of
king
Hezekiah
did
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
come
up
against all the
fenced
cities
of
Judah
, and
took
them.
strkjv@2Kings:18:14
@ And
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
sent
to the
king
of
Assyria
to
Lachish
,
saying
, I have
offended
;
return
from me: that which thou
puttest
on me will I
bear
. And the
king
of
Assyria
appointed
unto
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
three
hundred
talents
of
silver
and
thirty
talents
of
gold
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:15
@ And
Hezekiah
gave
him all the
silver
that was
found
in the
house
of the
LORD
, and in the
treasures
of the
kings
house
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:16
@ At that
time
did
Hezekiah
cut
off
the gold from the
doors
of the
temple
of the
LORD
, and from the
pillars
which
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
had
overlaid
, and
gave
it to the
king
of
Assyria
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:17
@ And the
king
of
Assyria
sent
Tartan
and
Rabsaris
Rab- and
Rabshakeh
from
Lachish
to
king
Hezekiah
with a
great
host
against
Jerusalem
. And they went
up
and
came
to
Jerusalem
. And when they were come
up
, they
came
and
stood
by the
conduit
of the
upper
pool
, which is in the
highway
of the
fullers
field
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:18
@ And when they had
called
to the
king
, there came
out
to them
Eliakim
the
son
of
Hilkiah
, which was over the
household
, and
Shebna
the
scribe
, and
Joah
the
son
of
Asaph
the
recorder
.
strkjv@2Kings:18:19
@ And
Rabshakeh
said
unto them,
Speak
ye now to
Hezekiah
, Thus
saith
the
great
king
, the
king
of
Assyria
, What
confidence
is this wherein thou
trustest
?
