Isaiah 36:1

Sennacherib Boasts Against the Lord

1 Now ^ait came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.

2 Then the king of Assyria sent the¹ Rabshakeh with a great army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And he stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

3 And ^aEliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, ^bShebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to him.

4 ^aThen the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What confidence is this in which you trust?

5 I say you speak of having plans and power for war; but they are¹ mere words. Now in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
