2 Chronicles 32:16 In-Context

14 My ancestors destroyed those nations; none of their gods could save them from me. So your god cannot save you from my power.

15 Do not let Hezekiah fool you or trick you, and do not be-lieve him. No god of any nation or kingdom has been able to save his people from me or my ancestors. Your god is even less able to save you from me."

16 Sennacherib's officers said worse things against the Lord God and his servant Hezekiah.

17 King Sennacherib also wrote letters insulting the Lord, the God of Israel. They spoke against him, saying, "The gods of the other nations could not save their people from me. In the same way Hezekiah's god won't be able to save his people from me."

18 Then the king's officers shouted in Hebrew, calling out to the people of Jerusalem who were on the city wall. The officers wanted to scare the people away so they could capture Jerusalem.
