2 Kings 18:33 In-Context
31
âDonât listen to Hezekiah! These are the terms the king of Assyria is offering: Make peace with meâopen the gates and come out. Then each of you can continue eating from your own grapevine and fig tree and drinking from your own well.
32
Then I will arrange to take you to another land like this oneâa land of grain and new wine, bread and vineyards, olive groves and honey. Choose life instead of death! âDonât listen to Hezekiah when he tries to mislead you by saying, âThe LORD will rescue us!â
33
Have the gods of any other nations ever saved their people from the king of Assyria?
34
What happened to the gods of Hamath and Arpad? And what about the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Did any god rescue Samaria from my power?
35
What god of any nation has ever been able to save its people from my power? So what makes you think that the LORD can rescue Jerusalem from me?â
