23:036:015 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the lord, saying, The
           lord will surely deliver us:  this city shall not be delivered
           into the hand of the king of Assyria.

23:036:016 Hearken not to Hezekiah:  for thus saith the king of Assyria,
           Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: 
           and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig
           tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

23:036:017 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a
           land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

23:036:018 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the lord will
           deliver us.  Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his
           land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

23:036:019 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of
           Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

23:036:020 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have
           delivered their land out of my hand, that the lord should
           deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

23:036:021 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word:  for
           the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

23:036:022 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the
           household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph,
           the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told
           him the words of Rabshakeh.

23:037:001 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent
           his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into
           the house of the lord.

23:037:002 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna
           the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with
           sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

23:037:003 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day
           of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy:  for the children
           are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring
           forth.

23:037:004 It may be the lord thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh,
           whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the
           living God, and will reprove the words which the lord thy God
           hath heard:  wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that
           is left.

23:037:005 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

23:037:006 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master,
           Thus saith the lord, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast
           heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have
           blasphemed me.
