  17:31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammeled Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

  17:32 So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lohe high places.

  17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their ohence.

  17:34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, her do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the lahe children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

  17:35 With hem:

  17:36 But the LORD, o him shall ye do sacrifice.

  17:37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the laher gods.

  18:12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his ant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORDmanded, and hem.

  18:13 Nohem.

  18:14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that s of gold.

  18:15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that he king"s house.

  18:16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars he king of Assyria.

  18:23 Nohem.

  18:24 Hos and for horsemen?

  18:25 Am I no.

  18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for he wall.

  18:27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master seo thy master, and to thee, to speak these h you?

  18:28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried he king of Assyria:

  18:29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

  18:30 her let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD he king of Assyria.

  18:31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement ern:

  18:32 Until Ie and take you ah you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

  18:33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

  18:34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad?of mine hand?

  18:35 Who are they among all the gods of the tries, that have delivered their try out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?

  18:36 But the people held their peace, and ans.

  18:37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, he words of Rabshakeh.

  19:1 And it came to pass, he LORD.

  19:2 And he sent Eliakim, he son of Amoz.

  19:3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the childreo the birth, and there is not strength t forth.

  19:4 It may be the LORD thy God .

  19:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

  19:6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the he king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

  19:7 Behold, I he sword in his own land.

  19:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria ed from Lachish.

  19:9 And o Hezekiah, saying,

  19:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them he children of Eden which were in Thelasar?

  19:13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?

  19:14 And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah he LORD.

  19:15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, od of Israel, h.

  19:16 LORD, bohe living God.

  19:17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

  19:18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they hem.

  19:19 Nohou only.

  19:20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lod of Israel, ThatSennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

  19:21 This is the hee.

  19:22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against he Holy One of Israel.

  19:24 I have digged and drunk strange he rivers of besieged places.

  19:25 Hast thou not heard long ago hoo ruinous heaps.

  19:26 Therefore their inhabitantsbe grown up.

  19:27 But I kno me.

  19:28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult ise up into mine ears, therefore I .

  19:29 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grohereof.

  19:30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root do upward.

  19:31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

  19:32 Therefore thus saith the LORD ing the king of Assyria, He shall o this city, nor shoot an arro.

  19:33 By the he LORD.

  19:34 For IDavid"s sake.

  19:35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD hey were all dead corpses.
