2 Kings 19:1-7

2 Kings 19:1-7

[1] And it came to pass, when king  Hezekiah  heard  it, that he rent  his clothes,  and covered  himself with sackcloth,  and went  into the house  of the LORD.  [2] And he sent  Eliakim,  which was over the household,  and Shebna  the scribe,  and the elders  of the priests,  covered  with sackcloth,  to Isaiah  the prophet  the son  of Amoz.  [3] And they said  Hezekiah,  This day  of trouble,  and of rebuke,  and blasphemy:  for the children  are come  to the birth,  and there is not strength  to bring forth.  [4] It may be  the LORD  thy God  will hear  all the words  of Rabshakeh,  whom the king  of Assyria  his master  hath sent  to reproach  the living  God;  and will reprove  the words  which the LORD  thy God  hath heard:  wherefore lift up  thy prayer  for the remnant  that are left.  [5] So the servants  of king  Hezekiah  came  to Isaiah.  [6] And Isaiah  said  to your master,  Thus saith  the LORD,  Be not afraid  of  the words  which thou hast heard,  with which the servants  of the king  of Assyria  have blasphemed  me. [7] Behold, I will send  a blast  upon him, and he shall hear  a rumour,  and shall return  to his own land;  and I will cause him to fall  by the sword  in his own land.
