| 1 | Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. | 2Ki 18:13 2Ki 18:17 2Ch 32:1 |
| 2 | The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army. He stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller`s field. | 2Ki 18:17-37 2Ch 32:9-23 |
| 3 | Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder. | Isa 22:15-20 |
| 4 | Rabshakeh said to them, Say you now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust? | Isa 10:8-14 Isa 37:11-15 Pr 16:18 Ezk 31:3-18 Dn 4:30 Ac 12:22 Ac 12:23 Jud 1:16 |
| 5 | I say, [your] counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me? | Pr 21:30 Pr 21:31 Pr 24:5 Pr 24:6 |
| 6 | Behold, you trust on the staff of this bruised reed, even on Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him. | Isa 20:5 Isa 20:6 Isa 30:1-7 Isa 31:3 2Ki 17:4 2Ki 18:21 Jer 37:5-8 Ezk 29:6 Ezk 29:7 |
| 7 | But if you tell me, We trust in Yahweh our God: isn`t that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar? | 2Ki 18:5 2Ki 18:22 1Ch 5:20 2Ch 16:7-9 2Ch 32:7 2Ch 32:8 Ps 22:4 Ps 22:5 Ps 42:5 Ps 42:10 Ps 42:11 |
| 8 | Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you be able on your part to set riders on them. | 2Ki 14:14 |
| 9 | How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master`s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? | Isa 10:8 2Ki 18:24 |
| 10 | Am I now come up without Yahweh against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. | Isa 10:5-7 Isa 37:28 1Ki 13:18 2Ki 18:25 2Ch 35:21 Am 3:6 |
| 11 | Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, Please speak, to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and don`t speak to us in the Jews` language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall. | 2Ki 18:26 2Ki 18:27 Ezr 4:7 Dn 2:4 |
| 12 | But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? [has he] not [sent me] to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you? | Isa 9:20 Lv 26:29 Dt 28:53-57 2Ki 6:25-29 2Ki 18:27 Jer 19:9 Lam 4:9 Lam 4:10 Ezk 4:16 |
| 13 | Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews` language, and said, Hear you the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. | 1Sa 17:8-11 2Ki 18:28-32 2Ch 32:18 Ps 17:10-13 Ps 73:8 Ps 73:9 Ps 82:6 Ps 82:7 |
| 14 | Thus says the king, Don`t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you: | Isa 37:10-13 2Ki 19:10-13 2Ki 19:22-13 2Ch 32:11 2Ch 32:13-19 Dn 3:15-17 Dn 6:20 Dn 7:25 2Th 2:4 Rev 13:5 Rev 13:6 |
| 15 | neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, Yahweh will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. | Isa 36:7 Isa 37:23 Isa 37:24 Ps 4:2 Ps 22:7 Ps 22:8 Ps 71:9-11 Mt 27:43 |
| 16 | Don`t listen to Hezekiah: for thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat you everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig-tree, and drink you everyone the waters of his own cistern; | Gn 32:20 Gn 33:11 1Sa 25:27 2Sa 8:6 2Ki 5:15 2Ki 18:31 2Co 9:5 |
| 17 | until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. | 2Ki 17:6-23 2Ki 18:9-12 2Ki 24:11 Pr 12:10 |
| 18 | Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? | Isa 36:7 Isa 36:10 Isa 36:15 Isa 37:10 Ps 12:4 Ps 92:5-7 |
| 19 | Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? | Nm 34:8 2Sa 8:9 |
| 20 | Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? | Isa 37:18 Isa 37:19 Isa 37:23-29 Isa 45:16 Isa 45:17 Ex 5:2 2Ki 19:22-37 2Ch 32:15 2Ch 32:19 Jb 15:25 Jb 15:26 Jb 40:9-12 Ps 50:21 Ps 73:9 Dn 3:15 |
| 21 | But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king`s commandment was, saying, Don`t answer him. | 2Ki 18:26 2Ki 18:37 Ps 38:13-15 Ps 39:1 Pr 9:7 Pr 26:4 Am 5:13 Mt 7:6 |
| 22 | Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. | Isa 36:3 Isa 36:11 |
