2 Kings 18:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And how can you stand against one lord of the least of my master's servants? Dost thou trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

²⁵ Is it without the will of the Lord that I am come up to this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up to this land and destroy it.

²⁶ Then Eliacim the son of Helcias, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: We pray thee speak to us thy servants in Syriac: for we understand that tongue: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.
