2 Kings 19:9–16

9 *And qwhen he heard say of Tirhakah king of rEthiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying, 10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God sin whom thou trustest tdeceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered? 12 uHave the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as xGozan, and yzHaran, and Rezeph, and the children of zEden which were in aThelasar? 13 bWhere is the king of Hamath, and the king of cArpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?

14 And Hezekiah received the dletter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. 15 And eHezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest fbetween the cherubims, gthou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 16 Lord, hbow down thine ear, and hear: iopen, Lord, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him kto reproach the living God.
