Isaiah 37:9-11
Living Bible
8-9 Now the Assyrian envoy left Jerusalem and went to consult his king, who had left Lachish and was besieging Libnah. But at this point the Assyrian king received word that Tirhakah, crown prince of Ethiopia, was leading an army against him from the south.[a] Upon hearing this, he sent messengers back to Jerusalem to Hezekiah with this message:
10 “Don’t let this God you trust in fool you by promising that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria! 11 Just remember what has happened wherever the kings of Assyria have gone, for they have crushed everyone who has opposed them. Do you think you will be any different?
