A further threat from Ashur

37:8 A further threat from Ashur

(2 Kgs 19:8-9)

8 Then the Assyrian negotiator returned to find the Assyrian king because he’d heard that he had left Lakish, and he found him fighting against Livnah. 9 Then the king heard that Kush’s (Ethiopia’s) King Tirhakah was marching out to attack him, so he sent messengers back to Hizkiyah (Hezekiah) with instructions, 10 “Tell Yehudah’s (Judah’s) King Hizkiyah: don’t let your god that you trust in, deceive you by telling you that Yerushalem (Jerusalem) won’t be conquered by the Assyrian king. 11 Listen, you’ve heard how that the Assyrian kings have destroyed all the other regions. Don’t think that you’ll be saved. 12 Did the gods of those other nations save them—places like Gozan and Haran and Retsef, and the people of Eden who lived in Telasar? 13 What happened to the kings of Hamat, Arpad, La’ir, Sefarvayim, Hena, and Ivah?”
