Chapter 36.

00:02.300 --> 00:07.560
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year
of King Hezekiah, that Sennacherib,

00:07.980 --> 00:12.580
king of Assyria, came up against all the
defenced cities of Judah and took them.

00:13.420 --> 00:17.320
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh
from Lachish to Jerusalem unto King

00:17.320 --> 00:18.560
Hezekiah with a great army.

00:19.380 --> 00:22.780
And he stood by the conduit of the upper
pool in the highway of the fuller's field.

00:23.720 --> 00:28.920
Then came forth unto him Eliakim,
Hilkiah's son, which was over the house,

00:29.340 --> 00:33.140
and Shebna the scribe, and Joah,
Esau's son, the recorder.

00:33.660 --> 00:39.620
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now
to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king,

00:39.920 --> 00:44.160
the king of Assyria, What confidence is
this wherein thou trustest?

00:44.700 --> 00:48.500
I say, Sayest thou, but they are but vain
words.

00:48.900 --> 00:50.960
I have counsel and strength for war.

00:51.600 --> 00:55.640
Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou
rebellest against me?

00:55.640 --> 01:01.080
Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this
broken reed on Egypt, whereon,

01:01.280 --> 01:04.580
if a man lean, it will go into his hand
and pierce it.

01:04.940 --> 01:07.860
So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that
trust in him.

01:08.720 --> 01:14.500
But if thou say to me, We trust in the
Lord our God, is it not he whose high

01:14.500 --> 01:18.720
places and whose altars Hezekiah hath
taken away, and said to Judah and to

01:18.720 --> 01:21.380
Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this
altar?

01:22.140 --> 01:26.600
Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee,
to my master the king of Assyria,

01:26.920 --> 01:31.700
and I will give thee two thousand horses,
if thou be able on thy part to set riders

01:31.700 --> 01:32.260
upon them.

01:33.060 --> 01:37.180
How then wilt thou turn away the face of
one captain of the least of my master's

01:37.180 --> 01:40.800
servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
chariots and for horsemen?

01:41.340 --> 01:45.300
And am I now come up without the Lord
against this land to destroy it?

01:45.620 --> 01:49.780
The Lord said unto me, Go up against this
land and destroy it.

01:49.780 --> 01:55.800
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto
Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee,

01:56.140 --> 01:59.800
unto thy servants in the Syrian language,
for we understand it.

02:00.120 --> 02:04.280
And speak not to us in the Jew's language,
in the ears of the people that are on the

02:04.280 --> 02:04.540
wall.

02:05.060 --> 02:10.660
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me
to thy master, and to thee to speak these

02:10.660 --> 02:11.040
words?

02:11.860 --> 02:16.020
Hath he not sent me to the men that sit
upon the wall, that they may eat their own

02:16.020 --> 02:18.560
dung, and drink their own piss with you?

02:19.280 --> 02:23.340
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud
voice in the Jew's language, and said,

02:24.260 --> 02:27.080
Hear ye the words of the great king,
the king of Assyria.

02:27.900 --> 02:32.880
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah
deceive you, for he shall not be able to

02:32.880 --> 02:33.440
deliver you.

02:33.940 --> 02:38.020
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the
Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver

02:38.020 --> 02:38.360
us.

02:38.780 --> 02:41.800
This city shall not be delivered into the
hand of the king of Assyria.

02:42.580 --> 02:47.500
Hearken not to Hezekiah, for thus saith
the king of Assyria, Make an agreement

02:47.500 --> 02:52.300
with me by a present, and come out to me,
and eat ye every one of his vine,

02:52.600 --> 02:56.580
and every one of his fig tree,
and drink ye every one the waters of his

02:56.580 --> 02:57.420
own cistern.

02:58.340 --> 03:02.920
Until I come and take you away to a land
like your own land, a land of corn and

03:02.920 --> 03:07.580
wine, a land of bread and vineyards,
beware lest Hezekiah persuade you,

03:07.660 --> 03:09.340
saying, The Lord will deliver us.

03:09.340 --> 03:13.220
Hath any of the gods of the nations
delivered his land out of the hand of the

03:13.220 --> 03:13.920
king of Assyria?

03:14.420 --> 03:16.500
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad?

03:16.860 --> 03:18.480
Where are the gods of Sepharvaim?

03:18.800 --> 03:20.960
And have they delivered Samaria out of my
hand?

03:21.280 --> 03:25.120
Who are they among all the gods of these
lands, that have delivered their land out

03:25.120 --> 03:28.720
of my hand, that the Lord should deliver
Jerusalem out of my hand?

03:29.660 --> 03:32.560
But they held their peace, and answered
him not a word.

03:33.000 --> 03:36.260
For the king's commandment was saying,
Answer him not.

03:36.260 --> 03:41.120
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
that was over the household, and Shebna

03:41.120 --> 03:46.120
the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the
recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes

03:46.120 --> 03:48.680
rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
