18:1 Now
it
came
to
passe
in
the
third
yere
of
Hoshea
sonne
of
Elah
king
of
Israel,
that
Hezekiah
the
sonne
of
Ahaz
king
of
Iudah,
began
to
reigne.
18:2 Twentie
and
fiue
yeeres
old
was
he
when
hee
began
to
reigne,
and
hee
reigned
twentie
and
nine
yeeres
in
Ierusalem:
His
mothers
name
also
was
Abi,
the
daughter
of
Zachariah.
18:3 And
he
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
according
to
all
that
Dauid
his
father
did.
18:4 He
remooued
the
high
places,
and
brake
the
images,
and
cut
downe
the
groues,
and
brake
in
pieces
the
brasen
serpent
that
Moses
had
made:
for
vnto
those
dayes
the
children
of
Israel
did
burne
incense
to
it:
and
he
called
it
Nehushtan.
18:5 He
trusted
in
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
so
that
after
him
was
none
like
him
among
all
the
kings
of
Iudah,
nor
any
that
were
before
him.
18:6 For
he
claue
to
the
Lord,
and
departed
not
from
following
him,
but
kept
his
commandements,
which
the
Lord
commanded
Moses.
18:7 And
the
Lord
was
with
him,
and
hee
prospered
whithersoeuer
hee
went
forth:
and
he
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
serued
him
not.
18:8 He
smote
the
Philistines
euen
vnto
Gaza,
and
the
borders
thereof,
from
the
towre
of
the
watchmen
to
the
fenced
cities.
18:9 And
it
came
to
passe
in
the
fourth
yeere
of
king
Hezekiah,
(which
was
the
seuenth
yeere
of
Hoshea,
sonne
of
Elah
king
of
Israel)
that
Shalmaneser
king
of
Assyria
came
vp
against
Samaria,
and
besieged
it.
18:10 And
at
the
end
of
three
yeeres
they
tooke
it:
euen
in
the
sixt
yeere
of
Hezekiah
(that
is
the
ninth
yeere
of
Hoshea
king
of
Israel)
Samaria
was
taken.
18:11 And
the
king
of
Assyria
did
carie
away
Israel
vnto
Assyria,
and
put
them
in
Halah
and
in
Habor
by
the
riuer
of
Gozan,
&
in
the
cities
of
the
Medes:
18:12 Because
they
obeyed
not
the
voice
of
the
Lord
their
God,
but
transgressed
his
Couenant,
and
all
that
Moses
the
seruant
of
the
Lord
commanded,
and
would
not
heare
them,
nor
doe
them.
18:13 Now
in
the
fourteenth
yeere
of
king
Hezekiah,
did
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
come
vp
against
all
the
fenced
cities
of
Iudah,
and
tooke
them.
18:14 And
Hezekiah
king
of
Iudah
sent
to
the
king
of
Assyria
to
Lachish,
saying,
I
haue
offended,
returne
from
me:
that
which
thou
puttest
on
me,
wil
I
beare.
And
the
king
of
Assyria
appointed
vnto
Hezekiah
king
of
Iudah,
three
hundred
talents
of
siluer,
and
thirtie
talents
of
gold.
18:15 And
Hezekiah
gaue
him
all
the
siluer
that
was
found
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
in
the
treasures
of
the
kings
house.
18:16 At
that
time
did
Hezekiah
cut
off
the
gold
from
the
doores
of
the
temple
of
the
Lord,
and
from
the
pillars
which
Hezekiah
king
of
Iudah
had
ouerlaid,
and
gaue
it
to
the
king
of
Assyria.
18:17 And
the
king
of
Assyria
sent
Tartan
and
Rabsaris,
and
Rabshakeh,
from
Lachish
to
king
Hezekiah,
with
a
great
hoste
against
Ierusalem:
and
they
went
vp,
and
came
to
Ierusalem:
and
when
they
were
come
vp,
they
came
and
stood
by
the
conduit
of
the
vpper
poole,
which
is
in
the
high
way
of
the
fullers
field.
18:18 And
when
they
had
called
to
the
king
there
came
out
to
them
Eliakim
the
sonne
of
Helkiah,
which
was
ouer
the
houshold,
and
Shebna
the
Scribe,
and
Ioah
the
sonne
of
Asaph
the
Recorder.
18:19 And
Rabshakeh
said
vnto
them,
Speake
yee
now
to
Hezekiah,
Thus
saith
the
great
king,
the
king
of
Assyria,
What
confidence
is
this
wherein
thou
trustest
18:20 Thou
sayest,
(but
they
are
but
vaine
words)
I
haue
counsell
and
strength
for
the
warre:
now
on
whom
doest
thou
trust,
that
thou
rebellest
against
me
18:21 Now
behold,
thou
trustest
vpon
the
staffe
of
this
bruised
reed,
euen
vpon
Egypt,
on
which
if
a
man
leane,
it
will
goe
into
his
hand,
and
pierce
it:
so
is
Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt
vnto
all
that
trust
on
him.
18:22 But
if
ye
say
vnto
me,
We
trust
in
the
Lord
our
God:
is
not
that
hee
whose
high
places,
and
whose
altars
Hezekiah
hath
taken
away,
and
hath
said
to
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
Ye
shall
worship
before
this
altar
in
Ierusalem
18:23 Now
therefore,
I
pray
thee,
giue
pledges
to
my
lord
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
I
will
deliuer
thee
two
thousand
horses,
if
thou
be
able
on
thy
part
to
set
riders
vpon
them.
18:24 How
then
wilt
thou
turne
away
the
face
of
one
captaine
of
the
least
of
my
masters
seruants,
and
put
thy
trust
on
Egypt
for
charets
and
for
horsemen
18:25 Am
I
now
come
vp
without
the
Lord
against
this
place,
to
destroy
it
The
Lord
sayd
to
me,
Goe
vp
against
this
land,
and
destroy
it.
18:26 Then
said
Eliakim
the
sonne
of
Hilkiah,
and
Shebna,
and
Ioah,
vnto
Rabshakeh,
Speake,
I
pray
thee,
to
thy
seruants
in
the
Syrian
language,
(for
wee
vnderstand
it)
and
talke
not
with
vs
in
the
Iewes
language,
in
the
eares
of
the
people
that
are
on
the
wall.
18:27 But
Rabshakeh
sayd
vnto
them,
Hath
my
master
sent
me
to
thy
master,
and
to
thee,
to
speake
these
wordes
hath
he
not
sent
me
to
the
men
which
sit
on
the
wall,
that
they
may
eate
their
owne
doung,
and
drinke
their
owne
pisse
with
you
18:28 Then
Rabshakeh
stood
and
cried
with
a
loude
voice
in
the
Iewes
language,
and
spake,
saying,
Heare
the
word
of
the
great
king,
the
king
of
Assyria.
18:29 Thus
sayth
the
king,
Let
not
Hezekiah
deceiue
you,
for
he
shall
not
be
able
to
deliuer
you
out
of
his
hand:
18:30 Neither
let
Hezekiah
make
you
trust
in
the
Lord,
saying,
The
Lord
will
surely
deliuer
vs,
and
this
city
shall
not
bee
deliuered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
18:31 Hearken
not
to
Hezekiah:
for
thus
sayth
the
king
of
Assyria,
Make
an
agreement
with
me
by
a
present,
and
come
out
to
me,
and
then
eate
yee
euery
man
of
his
owne
vine,
and
euery
one
of
his
figge
tree,
and
drinke
yee
euery
one
the
waters
of
his
cisterne:
18:32 Untill
I
come
and
take
you
away
to
a
land
like
your
owne
land,
a
land
of
corne
and
wine,
a
land
of
bread
and
vineyards,
a
land
of
oile
Oliue,
and
of
honie,
that
yee
may
liue,
and
not
die:
and
hearken
not
vnto
Hezekiah,
when
hee
perswadeth
you,
saying,
The
Lord
will
deliuer
vs.
18:33 Hath
any
of
the
gods
of
the
nations
deliuered
at
all
his
land
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria
18:34 Where
are
the
gods
of
Hamath,
and
of
Arpad
where
are
the
gods
of
Sepharuaim,
Hena,
and
Iuah
haue
they
deliuered
Samaria
out
of
mine
hand
18:35 Who
are
they
among
all
the
gods
of
the
countreys,
that
haue
deliuered
their
countrey
out
of
mine
hand,
that
the
Lord
should
deliuer
Ierusalem
out
of
mine
hand
18:36 But
the
people
helde
their
peace,
and
answered
him
not
a
word:
for
the
kings
commaundement
was,
saying,
Answere
him
not.
18:37 Then
came
Eliakim
the
sonne
of
Hilkiah,
which
was
ouer
the
houshold,
and
Shebna
the
Scribe,
and
Ioah
the
sonne
of
Asaph
the
Recorder,
to
Hezekiah
with
their
clothes
rent,
and
tolde
him
the
words
of
Rabshakeh.
