00:00.000 --> 00:06.660
Chapter 19 And it came to pass,
when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent

00:06.660 --> 00:10.940
his clothes, and covered himself with
sackcloth, and went into the house of the

00:10.940 --> 00:11.200
Lord.

00:11.640 --> 00:16.200
And he sent Eliakim, which was over the
household, and Shebna the scribe,

00:16.340 --> 00:20.880
and the elders of the priests,
covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the

00:20.880 --> 00:22.580
prophet, the son of Amos.

00:23.920 --> 00:29.600
Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of
trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy.

00:30.300 --> 00:34.080
For the children are come to the birth,
and there is not strength to bring forth.

00:35.020 --> 00:40.080
It may be the Lord thy God will hear all
the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of

00:40.080 --> 00:45.960
Assyria his master hath sent to reproach
the living God, and will reprove the words

00:45.960 --> 00:47.480
which the Lord thy God hath heard.

00:48.520 --> 00:51.900
Wherefore lift up thy prayer for the
remnant that are left.

00:52.580 --> 00:57.380
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to
Isaiah, and Isaiah said unto them,

00:57.640 --> 01:02.480
Thus shall ye say to your master,
Thus saith the Lord.

01:03.260 --> 01:08.420
Be not afraid of the words which thou hast
heard, with which the servants of the king

01:08.420 --> 01:10.300
of Assyria have blasphemed me.

01:10.960 --> 01:16.360
Behold, I will send a blast upon him,
and he shall hear a rumor and shall return

01:16.360 --> 01:22.060
to his own land, and I will cause him to
fall by the sword in his own land.

01:22.440 --> 01:26.740
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king
of Assyria warring against Libna,

01:27.220 --> 01:29.620
for he had heard that he was departed from
Lachish.

01:30.120 --> 01:35.160
And when he heard say of Tehachah king of
Ethiopia, Behold, he has come out to fight

01:35.160 --> 01:40.680
against thee, he sent messengers again
unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus shall ye speak

01:40.680 --> 01:45.820
to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying,
Let not thy God in whom thou trustest

01:45.820 --> 01:50.940
deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not
be delivered into the hand of the king of

01:50.940 --> 01:51.480
Assyria.

01:52.160 --> 01:56.300
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of
Assyria have done to all lands,

01:56.520 --> 01:59.980
by destroying them utterly, and shalt thou
be delivered?

01:59.980 --> 02:04.500
Have the gods of the nations delivered
them which my fathers have destroyed,

02:04.800 --> 02:09.840
as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezif,
and the children of Eden which were in

02:09.840 --> 02:10.460
Thelazar?

02:11.120 --> 02:15.540
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king
of Arpad, and the king of the city of

02:15.540 --> 02:17.720
Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivar?

02:17.740 --> 02:21.600
And Hezekiah received the letter of the
hand of the messengers, and read it.

02:22.020 --> 02:25.860
And Hezekiah went up into the house of the
Lord, and spread it before the Lord.

02:26.300 --> 02:30.560
And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord,
and said, O Lord God of Israel,

02:31.060 --> 02:35.760
which dwellest between the cherubims,
thou art the God, even thou alone,

02:36.120 --> 02:38.040
of all the kingdoms of the earth.

02:38.900 --> 02:40.940
Thou hast made heaven and earth.

02:42.000 --> 02:45.040
Lord, bow down thine ear, and hear.

02:45.780 --> 02:50.820
Open, Lord, thine eyes, and see,
and hear the words of Sennacherib,

02:51.040 --> 02:53.960
which hath sent him to reproach the living
God.

02:54.740 --> 03:00.360
Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria
have destroyed the nations and their

03:00.360 --> 03:03.320
lands, and have cast their gods into the
fire.

03:03.780 --> 03:09.360
For they were no gods, but the work of
men's hands, wood and stone.

03:10.040 --> 03:11.720
Therefore they have destroyed them.

03:12.660 --> 03:18.380
Now, therefore, O Lord our God,
I beseech thee, save thou us out of his

03:18.380 --> 03:24.000
hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth
may know that thou art the Lord God,

03:24.680 --> 03:25.960
even thou only.

03:26.260 --> 03:31.660
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to
Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God

03:31.660 --> 03:37.480
of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to
me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria,

03:37.720 --> 03:39.060
I have heard.

03:39.960 --> 03:43.620
This is the word that the Lord hath spoken
concerning him.

03:43.620 --> 03:48.380
The virgin, the daughter of Zion,
hath despised thee, and laughed thee to

03:48.380 --> 03:48.780
scorn.

03:49.260 --> 03:52.400
The daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her
head at thee.

03:53.440 --> 03:55.900
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed?

03:56.480 --> 04:01.700
And against whom hast thou exalted thy
voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?

04:02.220 --> 04:04.640
Even against the Holy One of Israel.

04:05.220 --> 04:10.300
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the
Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of

04:10.300 --> 04:14.580
my chariots I am come up to the height of
the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon,

04:14.900 --> 04:19.580
and will cut down the tall cedar trees
thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof,

04:19.720 --> 04:24.220
and I will enter into the lodgings of his
borders, and into the forest of his

04:24.220 --> 04:24.640
carmel.

04:25.160 --> 04:29.540
I have digged and drunk strange waters,
and with the sole of my feet have I dried

04:29.540 --> 04:32.060
up all the rivers of besieged places.

04:32.060 --> 04:37.700
Hast thou not heard long ago how I have
done it, and of ancient times that I have

04:37.700 --> 04:38.300
formed it?

04:38.880 --> 04:43.440
Now have I brought it to pass,
that thou shouldest be to lay waste,

04:43.920 --> 04:46.060
fenced cities into ruinous heaps.

04:46.920 --> 04:49.460
Therefore their inhabitants were of small
power.

04:50.180 --> 04:52.140
They were dismayed and confounded.

04:52.880 --> 04:57.840
They were as the grass of the field,
and as the green herb, as the grass on the

04:57.840 --> 05:01.460
housetops, and as corn blasted before it
be grown up.

05:01.460 --> 05:08.540
But I know thy abode, and thy going out,
and thy coming in, and thy rage against

05:08.540 --> 05:08.900
me.

05:09.460 --> 05:14.060
Because thy rage against me, and thy
tumult is come up into mine ears.

05:14.800 --> 05:20.800
Therefore I will put my hook in thy nose,
and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn

05:20.800 --> 05:23.060
thee back by the way by which thou camest.

05:23.900 --> 05:25.880
And this shall be a sign unto thee.

05:25.880 --> 05:30.320
Ye shall eat this year such things as grow
of themselves.

05:31.040 --> 05:33.880
And in the second year that which
springeth of the same.

05:34.200 --> 05:39.020
And in the third year sow ye, and reap,
and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits

05:39.020 --> 05:39.660
thereof.

05:40.340 --> 05:45.060
And the remnant that is escaped of the
house of Judah shall yet again take root

05:45.060 --> 05:46.920
downward and bear fruit upward.

05:47.800 --> 05:50.440
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a
remnant.

05:50.440 --> 05:55.700
And they that escape out of Mount Zion,
the zeal of the Lord of hosts,

05:56.040 --> 05:56.840
shall do this.

05:57.880 --> 06:03.100
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning
the king of Assyria, He shall not come

06:03.100 --> 06:07.820
into this city, nor shoot an arrow there,
nor come before it with shield,

06:08.060 --> 06:09.680
nor cast a bank against it.

06:09.960 --> 06:16.020
By the way that he came, by the same shall
he return, and shall not come into this

06:16.020 --> 06:17.700
city, saith the Lord.

06:18.340 --> 06:24.400
For I will defend this city, to save it
for mine own sake, and for my servant

06:24.400 --> 06:25.400
David's sake.

06:26.180 --> 06:30.020
And it came to pass that night,
that the angel of the Lord went out,

06:30.380 --> 06:34.660
and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an
hundred fourscore and five thousand.

06:35.320 --> 06:39.840
And when they arose early in the morning,
behold, they were all dead corpses.

06:41.220 --> 06:46.340
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed,
and went and returned, and dwelt at

06:46.340 --> 06:46.700
Nineveh.

06:46.700 --> 06:51.380
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
in the house of Nisroch his god,

06:52.080 --> 06:56.040
that Adrammelech and Shaariza his sons
smote him with the sword.

06:56.960 --> 07:02.400
And they escaped into the land of Arminia,
and Esauhad and his son reigned in his stead.
