¹²Didn't Hezekiah tear down all except one of the Lord's altars and places of worship?^[a] And didn't he tell you people of Jerusalem and Judah to worship at that one place?

¹³You've heard what my ancestors and I have done to other nations. Were the gods of those nations able to defend their land against us? ¹⁴None of those gods kept their people safe from the kings of Assyria. Do you really think your God can do any better?
