2 Kings 18:34 In-Context

32 I'll take you to a land sweeter by far than this one, a land of grain and wine, bread and vineyards, olive orchards and honey. You only live once - so live, really live!
33 Has there ever been a god anywhere who delivered anyone from the king of Assyria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? And Samaria - did their gods save them?
35 Can you name a god who saved anyone anywhere from me, the king of Assyria? So what makes you think that God can save Jerusalem from me?"
36 The people were silent. No one spoke a word for the king had ordered, "Don't anyone say a word - not one word!"
