Sennacherib Invades Judah
(2 Chronicles 32:1–8; Psalm 46:1–11)
13 In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah. 14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.”
And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver[fn] and thirty talents of gold.[fn] 15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
16 At that time Hezekiah stripped [the gold] with which he had plated the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD, and [he] gave it to the king of Assyria.
18:14 300 talents is approximately 11.3 tons or 10.3 metric tons of silver.
18:14 30 talents is approximately 1.13 tons or 1.03 metric tons of gold.
