2 Kings 18:13–19

^13*Now ^sin the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did ^†Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. ¹⁴And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to ^tLachish, 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 ^uthree hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. ¹⁵And Hezekiah ^xgave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house. ^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.

^17yAnd the king of Assyria sent ^zTartan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh 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 ^athe conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field. ¹⁸And when they had called to the king, there came out to them ^bEliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and ^bShebna the ^||scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph ^cthe recorder. ¹⁹And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, ^dWhat confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
