2 Kings 19 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Then Rabshakeh ^H7262 returned ^H7725 and found ^H4672 the king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 fighting ^H3898 against ^H5921 Libnah ^H3841, for he had heard ^H8085 that [fn]the king had set ^H5265 out ^H5265 from Lachish ^H3923.

Then Hezekiah ^H2396 took ^H3947 the [fn]letter ^H5612 from the hand ^H3027 of the messengers ^H4397 and read ^H7121 it, and he went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068 and [fn]spread ^H6566 it out ^H6566 before ^H6440 Yahweh ^H3068.

Then Isaiah ^H3470 the son ^H1121 of Amoz ^H531 sent ^H7971 word to Hezekiah ^H2396 saying ^H559, “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478, ‘Because ^H834 you have prayed ^H6419 to Me about ^H413 Sennacherib ^H5576 king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804, I have heard ^H8085 you.’

‘She has despised ^H959 you and mocked ^H3932 you,

The virgin ^H1330 daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726;

She has shaken ^H5128 her head ^H7218 behind ^H310 you,

The daughter ^H1323 of Jerusalem ^H3389!

‘Whom ^H4310 have you [fn]reproached ^H2778 and blasphemed ^H1442?

And against ^H5921 whom ^H4310 have you heightened ^H7311 your voice ^H6963,

And [fn]haughtily ^H4791 lifted ^H5375 up ^H5375 your eyes ^H5869?

Against ^H5921 the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478!

‘Through ^H3027 your messengers ^H4397 you have [fn]reproached ^H2778 the Lord ^H136,

And you have said ^H559, “With my many ^H7230 chariots ^H7393

I came ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the heights ^H4791 of the mountains ^H2022,

To the remotest ^H3411 parts ^H3411 of Lebanon ^H3844;

And I [fn]cut ^H3772 down ^H3772 its tall ^H6967 cedars ^H730 and its choice ^H4004 cypresses ^H1265.

And I [fn]entered ^H935 its farthest ^H7093 lodging ^H4411 place ^H4411, its thickest ^H3759 forest ^H3293.

“I dug ^H6979 wells and drank ^H8354 foreign ^H2114 waters ^H4325,

And with the sole ^H3709 of my feet ^H6471 I [fn]dried ^H2717 up ^H2717

All ^H3605 the rivers ^H2975 of [fn]Egypt ^H4693.”

‘Have you not heard ^H8085?

Long ^H7350 ago ^H7350 I did ^H6213 it;

From days ^H3117 H6924 of old ^H6924 I formed ^H3335 it.

Now ^H6258 I have brought ^H935 it to pass ^H935,

That you should devastate ^H1961 H7582 fortified ^H1219 cities ^H5892 into ruinous ^H5327 heaps ^H1530.

‘So their inhabitants ^H3427 were short ^H7116 of power ^H3027,

They were dismayed ^H2865 and put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954;

They were as the plant ^H6212 of the field ^H7704 and as the green ^H3419 herb ^H1877,

As grass ^H2682 on the rooftops ^H1406 is scorched ^H7711 before ^H6440 it rises ^H7054.

‘But I know ^H3045 your sitting ^H3427 down ^H3427,

And your going ^H3318 out ^H3318 and your coming ^H935 in ^H935,

And your raging ^H7264 against ^H413 Me.

‘Because ^H3282 of your raging ^H7264 against ^H413 Me,

And because your [fn]presumptuousness ^H7600 has come ^H5927 up ^H5927 to My ears ^H241,

Therefore I will put ^H7760 My hook ^H2397 in your nose ^H639,

And My bridle ^H4964 in your lips ^H8193,

And I will turn ^H7725 you back ^H7725 by the way ^H1870 which ^H834 you came ^H935.

‘Then this ^H2088 shall be the sign ^H226 for you: [fn]you will eat ^H398 this year ^H8141 what ^H5599 grows ^H5599 of its ^H5599 own ^H5599 accord ^H5599, in the second ^H8145 year ^H8141 what ^H7823 springs ^H7823 from the same, and in the third ^H7992 year ^H8141 sow ^H2232, reap ^H7114, plant ^H5193 vineyards ^H3754, and eat ^H398 their fruit ^H6529.

‘Therefore ^H3651 thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 concerning ^H413 the king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804, “He will not come ^H935 to this ^H2088 city ^H5892 or shoot ^H3384 an arrow ^H2671 there ^H8033; and he will not come ^H6923 before ^H6923 it with a shield ^H4043 or ^H3808 throw ^H8210 up ^H8210 a siege ^H5550 ramp ^H5550 against ^H5921 it.

Now it happened ^H1961 that night ^H3915, that the angel ^H4397 of Yahweh ^H3068 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 and struck ^H5221 185,000 ^{H3967 H8084 H2568 H505} in the camp ^H4264 of the Assyrians ^H804. And the [fn]men arose ^H7925 early ^H7925 in the morning ^H1242, and behold ^H2009, all ^H3605 of [fn]them were dead ^H4191 bodies ^H6297.
