Sennacherib Defies God

⁸ Then Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against ^(A)Libnah, for he had heard that the king had left ^(B)Lachish. ⁹ When he heard them say about Tirhakah king of ^[a]Cush, “Behold, he has come out to fight you,” he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, ¹⁰ “This is what you shall say to Hezekiah king of ^[b]Judah: ‘Do not ^(C)let your God in whom you trust deceive you by saying, “^(D)Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.” ¹¹ Behold, you yourself have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be saved? ^12 (E)Did the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed save them: ^(F)Gozan, ^(G)Haran, Rezeph, and ^(H)the sons of Eden who were in Telassar? ^13 (I)Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena and Ivvah?’”
