2 Kings 19:8-19 (BSB) | TrulyRandomVerse

8

When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.

9

Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So Sennacherib again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

10

“Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

11

Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?

12

Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of the people of Eden in Telassar?

13

Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”

14

So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.

15

And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.

16

Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.

17

Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.

18

They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.

19

And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
