12 ^aHave the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the people of ^bEden who were in Telassar?

13 ^aWhere is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’ ”

15 Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said: “O Lord God of Israel, the One ^awho dwells between the cherubim, ^bYou are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
