The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 anno tertio Osee filii Hela regis Israhel regnavit Ezechias filius Ahaz regis Iuda

2 viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset et viginti et novem annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Abi filia Zacchariae

3 fecitque quod erat bonum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat David pater suus

4 ipse dissipavit excelsa et contrivit statuas et succidit lucos confregitque serpentem aeneum quem fecerat Moses siquidem usque ad illud tempus filii Israhel adolebant ei incensum vocavitque eum Naasthan

5 in Domino Deo Israhel speravit itaque post eum non fuit similis ei de cunctis regibus Iuda sed neque in his qui ante eum fuerunt

6 et adhesit Domino et non recessit a vestigiis eius fecitque mandata eius quae praeceperat Dominus Mosi

7 unde et erat Dominus cum eo et in cunctis ad quae procedebat sapienter se agebat rebellavit quoque contra regem Assyriorum et non servivit ei

8 ipse percussit Philistheos usque Gazam et omnes terminos eorum a turre custodum usque ad civitatem muratam

9 anno quarto regis Ezechiae qui erat annus septimus Osee filii Hela regis Israhel ascendit Salmanassar rex Assyriorum Samariam et obpugnavit eam

10 et cepit nam post annos tres anno sexto Ezechiae id est nono anno Osee regis Israhel capta est Samaria

11 et transtulit rex Assyriorum Israhel in Assyrios conlocavitque eos in Ala et in Habor fluviis Gozan in civitatibus Medorum

12 quia non audierunt vocem Domini Dei sui sed praetergressi sunt pactum eius omnia quae praeceperat Moses servus Domini non audierunt neque fecerunt

13 anno quartodecimo regis Ezechiae ascendit Sennacherib rex Assyriorum ad universas civitates Iuda munitas et cepit eas

14 tunc misit Ezechias rex Iuda nuntios ad regem Assyriorum Lachis dicens peccavi recede a me et omne quod inposueris mihi feram indixit itaque rex Assyriorum Ezechiae regi Iudae trecenta talenta argenti et triginta talenta auri

15 deditque Ezechias omne argentum quod reppertum fuerat in domo Domini et in thesauris regis

16 in tempore illo confregit Ezechias valvas templi Domini et lamminas auri quas ipse adfixerat et dedit eas regi Assyriorum

17 misit autem rex Assyriorum Tharthan et Rabsaris et Rabsacen de Lachis ad regem Ezechiam cum manu valida Hierusalem qui cum ascendissent venerunt in Hierusalem et steterunt iuxta aquaeductum piscinae superioris quae est in via agri Fullonis

18 vocaveruntque regem egressus est autem ad eos Eliachim filius Helciae praepositus domus et Sobna scriba et Ioahe filius Asaph a commentariis

19 dixitque ad eos Rabsaces loquimini Ezechiae haec dicit rex magnus rex Assyriorum quae est ista fiducia qua niteris

20 forsitan inisti consilium ut praepares te ad proelium in quo confidis ut audeas rebellare

21 an speras in baculo harundineo atque confracto Aegypto super quem si incubuerit homo comminutus ingreditur manum eius et perforabit eam sic est Pharao rex Aegypti omnibus qui confidunt in se

22 quod si dixeritis mihi in Domino Deo nostro habemus fiduciam nonne iste est cuius abstulit Ezechias excelsa et altaria et praecepit Iudae et Hierusalem ante altare hoc adorabitis in Hierusalem

23 nunc igitur transite ad dominum meum regem Assyriorum et dabo vobis duo milia equorum et videte an habere valeatis ascensores eorum

24 et quomodo potestis resistere ante unum satrapam de servis domini mei minimis an fiduciam habes in Aegypto propter currus et equites

25 numquid sine Domini voluntate ascendi ad locum istum ut demolirer eum Dominus dixit mihi ascende ad terram hanc et demolire eam

26 dixerunt autem Eliachim filius Helciae et Sobna et Ioahe Rabsaci precamur ut loquaris nobis servis tuis syriace siquidem intellegimus hanc linguam et non loquaris nobis iudaice audiente populo qui est super murum

27 responditque eis Rabsaces numquid ad dominum tuum et ad te misit me dominus meus ut loquerer sermones hos et non ad viros qui sedent super murum ut comedant stercora sua et bibant urinam suam vobiscum

28 stetit itaque Rabsaces et clamavit voce magna iudaice et ait audite verba regis magni regis Assyriorum

29 haec dicit rex non vos seducat Ezechias non enim poterit eruere vos de manu mea

30 neque fiduciam vobis tribuat super Domino dicens eruens liberabit nos Dominus et non tradetur civitas haec in manu regis Assyriorum

31 nolite audire Ezechiam haec enim dicit rex Assyriorum facite mecum quod vobis est utile et egredimini ad me et comedet unusquisque de vinea sua et de ficu sua et bibetis aquas de cisternis vestris

32 donec veniam et transferam vos in terram quae similis terrae vestrae est in terram fructiferam et fertilem vini terram panis et vinearum terram olivarum et olei ac mellis et vivetis et non moriemini nolite audire Ezechiam qui vos decipit dicens Dominus liberabit nos

33 numquid liberaverunt dii gentium terram suam de manu regis Assyriorum

34 ubi est deus Emath et Arfad ubi est deus Sepharvaim Ana et Ava numquid liberaverunt Samariam de manu mea

35 quinam illi sunt in universis diis terrarum qui eruerunt regionem suam de manu mea ut possit eruere Dominus Hierusalem de manu mea

36 tacuit itaque populus et non respondit ei quicquam siquidem praeceptum regis acceperant ut non responderent ei

37 venitque Eliachim filius Helciae praepositus domus et Sobna scriba et Ioahe filius Asaph a commentariis ad Ezechiam scissis vestibus et nuntiaverunt ei verba Rabsacis

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 In the third year of Hoshe'a son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezeki'ah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechari'ah.

3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Ashe'rah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had burned incense to it; it was called Nehush'tan.

5 He trusted in the LORD the God of Israel; so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him.

6 For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses.

7 And the LORD was with him; wherever he went forth, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and would not serve him.

8 He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

9 In the fourth year of King Hezeki'ah, which was the seventh year of Hoshe'a son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmane'ser king of Assyria came up against Sama'ria and besieged it

10 and at the end of three years he took it. In the sixth year of Hezeki'ah, which was the ninth year of Hoshe'a king of Israel, Sama'ria was taken.

11 The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

12 because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded; they neither listened nor obeyed.

13 In the fourteenth year of King Hezeki'ah Sennach'erib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.

14 And Hezeki'ah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, "I have done wrong; withdraw from me; whatever you impose on me I will bear." And the king of Assyria required of Hezeki'ah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

15 And Hezeki'ah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king's house.

16 At that time Hezeki'ah stripped the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the doorposts which Hezeki'ah king of Judah had overlaid and gave it to the king of Assyria.

17 And the king of Assyria sent the Tartan, the Rab'saris, and the Rab'shakeh with a great army from Lachish to King Hezeki'ah at Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. When they arrived, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway to the Fuller's Field.

18 And when they called for the king, there came out to them Eli'akim the son of Hilki'ah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the secretary, and Jo'ah the son of Asaph, the recorder.

19 And the Rab'shakeh said to them, "Say to Hezeki'ah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this confidence of yours?

20 Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? On whom do you now rely, that you have rebelled against me?

21 Behold, you are relying now on Egypt, that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.

22 But if you say to me, "We rely on the LORD our God," is it not he whose high places and altars Hezeki'ah has removed, saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, "You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem"?

23 Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders upon them.

24 How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master's servants, when you rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

25 Moreover, is it without the LORD that I have come up against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.'"

26 Then Eli'akim the son of Hilki'ah, and Shebnah, and Jo'ah, said to the Rab'shakeh, "Pray, speak to your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; do not speak to us in the language of Judah within the hearing of the people who are on the wall."

27 But the Rab'shakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine?"

28 Then the Rab'shakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah: "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!

29 Thus says the king: 'Do not let Hezeki'ah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand.

30 Do not let Hezeki'ah make you to rely on the LORD by saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.'

31 Do not listen to Hezeki'ah; for thus says the king of Assyria: 'Make your peace with me and come out to me; then every one of you will eat of his own vine, and every one of his own fig tree, and every one of you will drink the water of his own cistern;

32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey, that you may live, and not die. And do not listen to Hezeki'ah when he misleads you by saying, The LORD will deliver us.

33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharva'im, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Sama'ria out of my hand?

35 Who among all the gods of the countries have delivered their countries out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"

36 But the people were silent and answered him not a word, for the king's command was, "Do not answer him."

37 Then Eli'akim the son of Hilki'ah, who was over the household, and Shebna the secretary, and Jo'ah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezeki'ah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of the Rab'shakeh.
