2Kings:19:20-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah ,
saying ,
So says Jehovah ,
the God of Israel I have heard that which you have prayed to Me regarding Sennacherib the king of Assyria ;
*
this is the word that Jehovah spoke concerning him :
The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn ;
the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you .
*
Whom have you reproached and reviled ?
Against whom have you lifted up a voice ?
Yea ,
you have lifted up your eyes on high ,
even against the Holy One of Israel !
*
By the hand of your messengers ,
you have defamed the Lord ,
and have said ,
With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains ,
to the sides of Lebanon ,
and I will cut down the height of its cedars ,
the best of its firs ,
and I will enter into the furthest dwelling ,
its densest forest ;
*
I have dug and drunk strange waters ,
and I dried up with the sole of my feet all the rivers of Egypt .
*
Have you not heard from afar ,
I made it ?
From days of old I formed it .
Now I have caused it to come ,
that you should make fortified cities desolate ruin heaps .
*
And their inhabitants were short in hand ;
they were terrified and were ashamed ;
they were as the grass of the field ,
and the green herb ,
as the grass on the housetops and blasted grain before it was grown !
*
But I have known your sitting down ,
and your going out ,
and your coming in ,
and your rage against Me .
*
Because of your raging against Me ,
and because your arrogance has come up into My ears ,
even I will put My hook in your nose ,
and My bridle in your lips ,
and I will turn you back by the way which you came .
*
And this shall be the sign for you :
you shall eat this year that which grows of itself ,
and in the second year that which springs of the same ;
and in the third year you shall sow ,
and reap ,
and plant vineyards ,
and eat their fruit .
*
And the escaped ones of the house of Judah that is left shall again take root downward ,
and bear fruit upward .
*
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant ,
and out of Mount Zion they that shall escape ;
the zeal of Jehovah of Hosts shall do this .
*
So Jehovah says this concerning the king of Assyria ,
He shall not come into this city ,
nor shoot an arrow there ,
nor come before it with shield ,
nor shall he pour out a siege mound against it .
*
By the way that he came in ,
in it he shall return ;
and he shall not come into this city ,
says Jehovah .
*
For I will defend this city ,
to save it ,
for My own sake ,
and for My servant David '
s sake .
*
And it happened in that night ,
that the Angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty five thousand in the camp of Assyria ;
and they rose up early in the morning ,
and behold ,
all of them were dead bodies .
*
And Sennacherib the king of Assyria moved ,
and went and returned ,
and lived in Nineveh .
*
And it happened ,
as he was bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch ,
his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword ;
and they escaped into the land of Ararat .
And his son Esarhaddon reigned in his place .
