37:1 And
it
came
to
passe
when
King
Hezekiah
heard
it,
that
hee
rent
his
clothes,
and
couered
himselfe
with
sackecloth,
and
went
into
the
house
of
the
Lord.
37:2 And
hee
sent
Eliakim,
who
was
ouer
the
houshold,
and
Shebna
the
Scribe,
and
the
Elders
of
the
Priestes
couered
with
sackecloth,
vnto
Isaiah
the
Prophet
the
sonne
of
Amoz.
37:3 And
they
sayd
vnto
him;
Thus
sayth
Hezekiah,
This
day
is
a
day
of
trouble,
and
of
rebuke,
and
of
blasphemie:
for
the
children
are
come
to
the
birth,
and
there
is
not
strength
to
bring
foorth.
37:4 It
may
be
the
Lord
thy
God
will
heare
the
words
of
Rabshakeh,
whom
the
king
of
Assyria
his
master
hath
sent
to
reproch
the
liuing
God,
and
will
reprooue
the
words
which
the
Lord
thy
God
hath
heard:
wherefore
lift
vp
thy
prayer
for
the
remnant
that
is
left.
37:5 So
the
seruants
of
King
Hezekiah
came
to
Isaiah.
37:6 And
Isaiah
sayd
vnto
them;
Thus
shall
yee
say
vnto
your
master,
Thus
sayth
the
Lord,
Be
not
afraid
of
the
wordes
that
thou
hast
heard,
wherewith
the
seruants
of
the
king
of
Assyria
haue
blasphemed
me.
37:7 Behold,
I
will
send
a
blast
vpon
him,
and
hee
shall
heare
a
rumour,
and
returne
to
his
owne
land,
and
I
will
cause
him
to
fall
by
the
sword
in
his
owne
land.
37:8 So
Rabshakeh
returned
and
found
the
king
of
Assyria
warring
against
Libnah:
for
hee
had
heard
that
he
was
departed
from
Lachish.
37:9 And
he
heard
say
concerning
Tirhakah
king
of
Ethiopia,
Hee
is
come
foorth
to
make
warre
with
thee:
and
when
he
heard
it,
he
sent
messengers
to
Hezekiah,
saying;
37:10 Thus
shall
ye
speake
to
Hezekiah
King
of
Iudah,
saying,
Let
not
thy
God
in
whom
thou
trustest
deceiue
thee,
saying,
Ierusalem
shall
not
bee
giuen
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
37:11 Behold,
thou
hast
heard
what
the
kings
of
Assyria
haue
done
to
all
lands
by
destroying
them
vtterly,
and
shalt
thou
be
deliuered
37:12 Haue
the
gods
of
the
nations
deliuered
them
which
my
fathers
haue
destroyed,
as
Gozan,
and
Haran,
and
Rezeph,
and
the
children
of
Eden
which
were
in
Telassar
37:13 Where
is
the
king
of
Hamath,
and
the
king
of
Arphad,
and
the
king
of
the
citie
of
Sepharuaim,
Hena
and
Iuah
37:14 And
Hezekiah
receiued
the
letter
from
the
hand
of
the
messengers,
and
read
it,
and
Hezekiah
went
vp
vnto
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
spread
it
before
the
Lord.
37:15 And
Hezekiah
prayed
vnto
the
Lord,
saying,
37:16 O
Lord
of
hostes,
God
of
Israel,
that
dwellest
betweene
the
Cherubims,
thou
art
the
God,
euen
thou
alone,
of
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
earth,
thou
hast
made
heauen
and
earth.
37:17 Encline
thine
eare,
O
Lord,
and
heare,
Open
thine
eyes,
O
Lord,
and
see,
and
heare
all
the
wordes
of
Sennacherib,
which
hath
sent
to
reproch
the
liuing
God.
37:18 Of
a
trueth,
Lord,
the
kings
of
Assyria
haue
laid
waste
all
the
nations
and
their
countreys,
37:19 And
haue
cast
their
gods
into
the
fire:
for
they
were
no
gods,
but
the
work
of
mens
hands,
wood
and
stone:
therfore
they
haue
destroyed
them.
37:20 Now
therefore,
O
Lord
our
God,
saue
vs
from
his
hand,
that
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
earth
may
knowe,
that
thou
art
the
Lord,
euen
thou
onely.
37:21 Then
Isaiah
the
sonne
of
Amoz
sent
vnto
Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
Wheras
thou
hast
prayed
to
me
against
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria:
37:22 This
is
the
worde
which
the
Lord
hath
spoken
concerning
him:
The
virgin,
the
daughter
of
Zion
hath
despised
thee,
and
laughed
thee
to
scorne,
the
daughter
of
Ierusalem
hath
shaken
her
head
at
thee.
37:23 Whom
hast
thou
reproched
and
blasphemed
and
against
whome
hast
thou
exalted
thy
voice,
and
lifted
vp
thine
eyes
on
high
euen
against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
37:24 By
thy
seruants
hast
thou
reproched
the
Lord,
and
hast
said,
By
the
multitude
of
my
charets
am
I
come
vp
to
the
height
of
the
mountaines,
to
the
sides
of
Lebanon,
and
I
wil
cut
downe
the
tall
cedars
thereof,
and
the
choise
firre
trees
thereof:
and
I
will
enter
into
the
height
of
his
border,
and
the
forrest
of
his
Carmel.
37:25 I
haue
digged
and
drunke
water,
and
with
the
sole
of
my
feete
haue
I
dried
vp
all
the
riuers
of
the
besieged
places.
37:26 Hast
thou
not
heard
long
agoe,
how
I
haue
done
it,
and
of
ancient
times,
that
I
haue
formed
it
now
haue
I
brought
it
to
passe,
that
thou
shouldest
be
to
lay
waste
defenced
cities
into
ruinous
heapes.
37:27 Therefore
their
inhabitants
were
of
small
power,
they
were
dismayed
and
confounded:
they
were
as
the
grasse
of
the
field,
and
as
the
greene
herbe,
as
the
grasse
on
the
house
tops,
and
as
corne
blasted
before
it
be
growen
vp.
37:28 But
I
know
thy
abode,
and
thy
going
out,
and
thy
comming
in,
and
thy
rage
against
me.
37:29 Because
thy
rage
against
me,
and
thy
tumult
is
come
vp
into
mine
eares:
therefore
will
I
put
my
hooke
in
thy
nose,
and
my
bridle
in
thy
lips,
and
I
will
turne
thee
backe
by
the
way
by
which
thou
camest.
37:30 And
this
shall
be
a
signe
vnto
thee,
Ye
shall
eate
this
yeere
such
as
groweth
of
it
felfe:
and
the
second
yeere
that
which
springeth
of
the
same:
and
in
the
third
yeere
sow
ye
and
reape,
and
plant
vineyards,
and
eate
the
fruit
thereof.
37:31 And
the
remnant
that
is
escaped
of
the
house
of
Iudah,
shal
againe
take
roote
downeward,
and
beare
fruite
vpward.
37:32 For
out
of
Ierusalem
shall
goe
forth
a
remnant,
and
they
that
escape
out
of
mount
Zion:
the
zeale
of
the
Lord
of
hostes
shall
doe
this.
37:33 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
king
of
Assyria,
He
shall
not
come
into
this
citie,
nor
shoot
an
arrow
there,
nor
come
before
it
with
shields,
nor
cast
a
banke
against
it.
37:34 By
the
way
that
he
came,
by
the
same
shall
he
returne,
and
shall
not
come
into
this
citie,
saith
the
Lord.
37:35 For
I
will
defend
this
citie
to
saue
it,
for
mine
owne
sake,
and
for
my
seruant
Dauids
sake.
37:36 Then
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
went
forth,
and
smote
in
the
campe
of
the
Assyrians
a
hundred
and
fourescore
and
fiue
thousand:
and
when
they
arose
earely
in
the
morning,
behold,
they
were
all
dead
corpses.
37:37 So
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
departed,
and
went,
and
returned,
and
dwelt
at
Nineueh.
37:38 And
it
came
to
passe
as
hee
was
worshipping
in
the
house
of
Nisroch
his
god,
that
Adramelech
and
Sharezer
his
sons
smote
him
with
the
sword,
and
they
escaped
into
the
land
of
Armenia:
and
Esarhaddon
his
sonne
reigned
in
his
stead.
