And they call
unto
the king, and
go
out unto
them doth
Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who
`is'
over the house
, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer
.
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
.
And the
chief
of
the
butlers
saith
unto them, `Say,
I
pray
you,
unto
Hezekiah, Thus said
the great king, the king of Asshur
, What `
is '
this confidence
in
which
thou hast
confided
?
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
?
Thou hast
said:
Only
a
word
of
the
lips!
counsel and might
`are'
for battle;
now ,
on whom hast
thou trusted
that thou hast
rebelled
against me?
Thou sayest,
(but
they
are
but
vain
words,)
I
have
counsel and strength
for the
war.
Now on whom dost
thou trust,
that thou rebellest
against me?
`
Now, lo
, thou hast
trusted
for
thee
on
the staff of this broken
reed, on
Egypt ;
which a man leaneth
on
, and
it hath
gone
into his hand, and pierced
it !
--
so `
is '
Pharaoh king of Egypt to
all those
trusting
on him.
Now, behold
, thou trustest
upon
the staff of this bruised
reed, even
upon
Egypt ,
on
which if
a man lean
, it will
go
into his hand, and pierce
it :
so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto
all that
trust
on him.
`And
when
ye say unto me, Unto
Jehovah
our God we
have
trusted,
is it
not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath turned
aside
, and saith
to Judah and to
Jerusalem, Before this altar do
ye
bow
yourselves
in Jerusalem?
But
if
ye say unto me, We
trust
in
the
LORD
our God :
is not that
he ,
whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken
away
, and hath
said
to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye
shall
worship
before this altar in Jerusalem?
`And,
now ,
give
a
pledge
for
thee
, I pray thee, to my lord the king of Asshur
, and I give
to
thee two thousand horses, if thou art
able to give
for
thee
riders on
them.
Now therefore
, I pray thee, give
pledges
to my lord the king of Assyria
, and I will
deliver
thee two thousand horses, if thou be
able on
thy
part
to set
riders upon
them.
And
how dost
thou turn back
the face of one captain of the least of the
servants
of
my lord
, that
thou
dost
trust for
thee
on Egypt for chariot,
and for horsemen?
How then
wilt
thou turn away
the face of one captain of the least of my master's
servants
, and
put
thy
trust on Egypt for chariots
and for horsemen?
Now,
without
Jehovah
have
I come up against this place to destroy it? Jehovah
said unto
me, Go up against this land, and thou
hast
destroyed
it. '
Am
I now
come up without
the
LORD
against this place to destroy it? The
LORD
said to
me, Go up against this land, and destroy
it.
And
Eliakim son of Hilkiah saith
--
and Shebna, and Joah --
to
the
chief
of
the
butlers
, `
Speak, we
pray thee, unto
thy servants `
in '
Aramaean,
for we are
understanding,
and do
not speak
with us `
in' Jewish,
in the ears of the people who
`
are '
on the wall. '
Then
said
Eliakim the
son of Hilkiah ,
and Shebna, and Joah, unto
Rabshakeh,
Speak, I
pray thee, to
thy servants in the
Syrian
language;
for we understand
it:
and talk
not with us in the
Jews
' language
in the ears of the people that
are on the wall.
And
the
chief
of
the
butlers
saith
unto them, `For
thy lord
, and unto
thee, hath
my
lord
sent
me
to speak these words? is
it
not for
the men ,
those
sitting
on the wall to
eat their own dung and to
drink their own water,
with you? '
But
Rabshakeh
said
unto them, Hath
my
master
sent
me
to
thy master
, and to
thee, to speak these words? hath
he
not sent
me
to
the men which
sit
on the wall ,
that
they
may
eat their own dung ,
and drink their own piss
with you?
And
the
chief
of
the
butlers
standeth
and calleth
with a great
voice `
in' Jewish
, and speaketh
and
saith
, `
Hear ye
a
word of the great king, the king of Asshur
:
Then
Rabshakeh
stood
and cried
with a loud
voice in the
Jews
' language
, and spake
, saying,
Hear the
word of the great king, the king of Assyria
:
thus said
the king, Let not Hezekiah lift
you up,
for he is
not able to deliver you out of his hand ;
Thus saith
the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive
you :
for he shall
not be
able to deliver you out of his hand :
and
let not
Hezekiah make you trust unto
Jehovah
, saying, Jehovah
doth
certainly
deliver us, and this city is
not given
into the hand of the king of Asshur
.
Neither
let Hezekiah make you trust in
the
LORD
, saying, The
LORD
will
surely
deliver us, and this city shall
not be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Assyria
.
`Do
not
hearken unto
Hezekiah ,
for thus said
the king of Asshur
, Make with me a blessing
, and come out unto
me, and eat ye each
of his vine, and each
of his fig -
tree, and drink ye each
the waters of his own
well,
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 then
eat ye every
man
of his own
vine, and every
one
of his fig tree, and drink ye every
one
the waters of his cistern:
till
my
coming
in,
and
I have
taken
you unto
a land like your own land, a land of corn and new
wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive ,
and honey, and
live, and die
not ;
and do
not
hearken unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah
doth
deliver us.
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, a land of oil olive and of
honey, that
ye
may
live, and not die:
and hearken not
unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The
LORD
will
deliver us.
`Have
the gods of the nations delivered at all each
his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur
?
Hath
any
of
the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria
?
Where `
are '
the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah,
that
they
have delivered Samaria out of my
hand?
Where are the gods of Hamath ,
and of
Arpad? where are
the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
have they
delivered Samaria out of mine
hand?
Who `
are they '
among all the gods of the lands
that have delivered their land
out of my
hand, that Jehovah
doth
deliver Jerusalem out of my
hand? '
Who are they among all the gods of the countries,
that have delivered their country
out of mine
hand, that the
LORD
should
deliver Jerusalem out of mine
hand?
And
the people have
kept
silent
, and have
not
answered him a word ,
for the command
of
the
king
is
, saying, `Do
not
answer him. '
But
the people held
their
peace
, and answered him not
a word :
for the king's
commandment
was
, saying, Answer him not
.
And
Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who
`is'
over the house,
cometh
in
, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer
, unto
Hezekiah ,
with rent garments
, and they
declare
to
him the words of the
chief
of
the
butlers
.
Then
came
Eliakim the
son of Hilkiah, which
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
