12:018:010 And at the end of three years they took it:  even in the sixth
           year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of
           Israel, Samaria was taken.

12:018:011 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria,
           and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and
           in the cities of the Medes: 

12:018:012 Because they obeyed not the voice of the lord their God, but
           transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of
           the lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

12:018:013 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib
           king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of
           Judah, and took them.

12:018:014 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to
           Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me:  that which
           thou puttest on me will I bear.  And the king of Assyria
           appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of
           silver and thirty talents of gold.

12:018:015 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the
           house of the lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house.

12:018:016 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of
           the temple of the lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah
           king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of
           Assyria.

12:018:017 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh
           from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against
           Jerusalem.  And they went up and came to Jerusalem.  And when
           they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the
           upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.

12:018:018 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them
           Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and
           Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

12:018:019 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus
           saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is
           this wherein thou trustest?

12:018:020 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and
           strength for the war.  Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou
           rebellest against me?

12:018:021 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised
           reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into
           his hand, and pierce it:  so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all
           that trust on him.

12:018:022 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the lord our God:  is not
           that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath
           taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall
           worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
