Now in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of King H4428 Hezekiah H2396, which H1931 was the seventh H7637 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 son H1121 of Elah H425 king H4428 of Israel H3478, Shalmaneser H8022 king H4428 of Assyria H804 came H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Samaria H8111 and besieged H6696 H5921 it.
Then the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 Tartan H8661 and Rab-saris H7249 and Rabshakeh H7262 from Lachish H3923 to King H4428 Hezekiah H2396 with a heavy H3515 military H2428 force H2428 to Jerusalem H3389. So they went H5927 up H5927 and came H935 to Jerusalem H3389. And when they went H5927 up H5927, they came H935 and stood H5975 by the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool H1295, which H834 is on the highway H4546 of the [fn]fuller’s H3526 field H7704.
Then Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah H2518, and Shebnah H7644 and Joah H3098, said H559 to Rabshakeh H7262, “Speak H1696 now H4994 to your servants H5650 in Aramaic H762, for we [fn]understand H8085 it; and do not speak H1696 with us in [fn]Judean H3066 in the hearing H241 of the people H5971 who H834 are on the wall H2346.”
