Chapter 19
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.
2
And
he
sent
Eliakim,
which
was
over
the
household,
and
Shebna
the
scribe,
and
the
elders
of
the
priests,
covered
with
sackcloth,
to
Isaiah
the
prophet
the
son
of
Amoz.
3
And
they
said
unto
him,
Thus
saith
Hezekiah,
This
day
is
a
day
of
trouble,
and
of
rebuke,
and
blasphemy:
for
the
children
are
come
to
the
birth,
and
there
is
not
strength
to
bring
forth.
4
It
may
be
the
Lord
thy
God
will
hear
all
the
words
of
Rab-shakeh,
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
are
left.
5
So
the
servants
of
king
Hezekiah
came
to
Isaiah.
6
And
Isaiah
said
unto
them,
Thus
shall
ye
say
to
your
master,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Be
not
afraid
of
the
words
which
thou
hast
heard,
with
which
the
servants
of
the
king
of
Assyria
have
blasphemed
me.
7
Behold,
I
will
send
a
blast
upon
him,
and
he
shall
hear
a
rumour,
and
shall
return
to
his
own
land;
and
I
will
cause
him
to
fall
by
the
sword
in
his
own
land.
8
So
Rab-shakeh
returned,
and
found
the
king
of
Assyria
warring
against
Libnah:
for
he
had
heard
that
he
was
departed
from
Lachish.
9
And
when
he
heard
say
of
Tirhakah
king
of
Ethiopia,
Behold,
he
is
come
out
to
fight
against
thee:
he
sent
messengers
again
unto
Hezekiah,
saying,
10
Thus
shall
ye
speak
to
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
saying,
Let
not
thy
God
in
whom
thou
trustest
deceive
thee,
saying,
Jerusalem
shall
not
be
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
11
Behold,
thou
hast
heard
what
the
kings
of
Assyria
have
done
to
all
lands,
by
destroying
them
utterly:
and
shalt
thou
be
delivered?
12
Have
the
gods
of
the
nations
delivered
them
which
my
fathers
have
destroyed;
as
Gozan,
and
Haran,
and
Rezeph,
and
the
children
of
Eden
which
were
in
Thelasar?
13
Where
is
the
king
of
Hamath,
and
the
king
of
Arpad,
and
the
king
of
the
city
of
Sepharvaim,
of
Hena,
and
Ivah?
14
And
Hezekiah
received
the
letter
of
the
hand
of
the
messengers,
and
read
it:
and
Hezekiah
went
up
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
spread
it
before
the
Lord.
15
And
Hezekiah
prayed
before
the
Lord,
and
said,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
which
dwellest
between
the
cherubims,
thou
art
the
God,
even
thou
alone,
of
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth;
thou
hast
made
heaven
and
earth.
16
Lord,
bow
down
thine
ear,
and
hear:
open,
Lord,
thine
eyes,
and
see:
and
hear
the
words
of
Sennacherib,
which
hath
sent
him
to
reproach
the
living
God.
17
Of
a
truth,
Lord,
the
kings
of
Assyria
have
destroyed
the
nations
and
their
lands,
18
And
have
cast
their
gods
into
the
fire:
for
they
were
no
gods,
but
the
work
of
men’s
hands,
wood
and
stone:
therefore
they
have
destroyed
them.
19
Now
therefore,
O
Lord
our
God,
I
beseech
thee,
save
thou
us
out
of
his
hand,
that
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
may
know
that
thou
art
the
Lord
God,
even
thou
only.
20
Then
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
sent
to
Hezekiah,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
That
which
thou
hast
prayed
to
me
against
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
I
have
heard.
21
This
is
the
word
that
the
Lord
hath
spoken
concerning
him;
The
virgin
the
daughter
of
Zion
hath
despised
thee,
and
laughed
thee
to
scorn;
the
daughter
of
Jerusalem
hath
shaken
her
head
at
thee.
22
Whom
hast
thou
reproached
and
blasphemed?
and
against
whom
hast
thou
exalted
thy
voice,
and
lifted
up
thine
eyes
on
high?
even
against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
23
By
thy
messengers
thou
hast
reproached
the
Lord,
and
hast
said,
With
the
multitude
of
my
chariots
I
am
come
up
to
the
height
of
the
mountains,
to
the
sides
of
Lebanon,
and
will
cut
down
the
tall
cedar
trees
thereof,
and
the
choice
fir
trees
thereof:
and
I
will
enter
into
the
lodgings
of
his
borders,
and
into
the
forest
of
his
Carmel.
24
I
have
digged
and
drunk
strange
waters,
and
with
the
sole
of
my
feet
have
I
dried
up
all
the
rivers
of
besieged
places.
25
Hast
thou
not
heard
long
ago
how
I
have
done
it,
and
of
ancient
times
that
I
have
formed
it?
now
have
I
brought
it
to
pass,
that
thou
shouldest
be
to
lay
waste
fenced
cities
into
ruinous
heaps.
26
Therefore
their
inhabitants
were
of
small
power,
they
were
dismayed
and
confounded;
they
were
as
the
grass
of
the
field,
and
as
the
green
herb,
as
the
grass
on
the
housetops,
and
as
corn
blasted
before
it
be
grown
up.
27
But
I
know
thy
abode,
and
thy
going
out,
and
thy
coming
in,
and
thy
rage
against
me.
28
Because
thy
rage
against
me
and
thy
tumult
is
come
up
into
mine
ears,
therefore
I
will
put
my
hook
in
thy
nose,
and
my
bridle
in
thy
lips,
and
I
will
turn
thee
back
by
the
way
by
which
thou
camest.
29
And
this
shall
be
a
sign
unto
thee,
Ye
shall
eat
this
year
such
things
as
grow
of
themselves,
and
in
the
second
year
that
which
springeth
of
the
same;
and
in
the
third
year
sow
ye,
and
reap,
and
plant
vineyards,
and
eat
the
fruits
thereof.
30
And
the
remnant
that
is
escaped
of
the
house
of
Judah
shall
yet
again
take
root
downward,
and
bear
fruit
upward.
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.
32
Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
king
of
Assyria,
He
shall
not
come
into
this
city,
nor
shoot
an
arrow
there,
nor
come
before
it
with
shield,
nor
cast
a
bank
against
it.
33
By
the
way
that
he
came,
by
the
same
shall
he
return,
and
shall
not
come
into
this
city,
saith
the
Lord.
34
For
I
will
defend
this
city,
to
save
it,
for
mine
own
sake,
and
for
my
servant
David’s
sake.
35
And
it
came
to
pass
that
night,
that
the
angel
of
the
Lord
went
out,
and
smote
in
the
camp
of
the
Assyrians
an
hundred
fourscore
and
five
thousand:
and
when
they
arose
early
in
the
morning,
behold,
they
were
all
dead
corpses.
36
So
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
departed,
and
went
and
returned,
and
dwelt
at
Nineveh.
37
And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he
was
worshipping
in
the
house
of
Nisroch
his
god,
that
Adrammelech
and
Sharezer
his
sons
smote
him
with
the
sword:
and
they
escaped
into
the
land
of
Armenia.
And
Esarhaddon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
