This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
8 When the chief commander returned to the Assyrian king, he discovered that they’d pulled out of Lakish and were now fighting against Livnah city. 9 Then the king heard that the Ethiopian King Tirhakah was preparing to attack, so he decided to return home but he sent messengers to Hizkiyah to say, 10 “Tell Yehudah’s King Hizkiyah not to let the god he trusts in deceive him by telling him that Yerushalem won’t be captured by the king of Assyria. 11 Tell him that he must have heard how the Assyrian armies have completely devastated other countries, so he shouldn’t think that he will be saved from it. 12 The gods of the countries destroyed by my ancestors never saved them—those in Gozan, Haran, Retsef, or Eden’s descendants in Telassar. 13 Where’s the king of Hamat, or the king of Arpad, or the kings of the cities of Sefarvayim, Hena, or Ivvah now?”
14 Hizkiyah took the letter that the messengers had brought and read it, then he went up to the temple and spread it out in front of Yahweh 15 and prayed to him, “Yahweh the god of Yisrael, who lives above the winged creatures. You alone are God—the one over all the kingdoms of the earth. You yourself made the heavens and the earth.[ref] 16 Lean this way, Yahweh, and look, and listen to Sanheriv’s words mocking the living God. 17 Yes Yahweh, the Assyrian kings have certainly destroyed many countries and their lands. 18 The Assyrians burnt the peoples’ gods because they weren’t living gods, but rather gods of wood and stone made by people and they’ve destroyed them. 19 But now Yahweh our god, please save us from his army, then all the kingdoms in the world will know that you, Yahweh, are God—you alone.”
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 Ethiopia’s King Tirhakah was marching out to attack him, so he sent messengers back to Hezkiyah with instructions, 10 “Tell Yehudah’s King Hezkiyah: don’t let your god that you trust in, deceive you by telling you that Yerushalem 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 Telassar? 13 What happened to the kings of Hamat, Arpad, La’ir, Sefarvayim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
37:13 Hezkiyah’s Prayer
14 Hezkiyah accepted the letter brought by the messengers and read it. Then he went into Yahweh’s residence and spread it out in front of Yahweh 15 and prayed to Yahweh, saying, 16 “Commander-in-chief Yahweh, Yisrael’s god, who’s enthroned above the winged creatures. You alone are God over all of earth’s kingdoms—you made the heavens and the earth. 17 Yahweh, please pay attention and listen. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and look, and listen to everything that Sennacherib has said to defy the living god. 18 Yahweh, it’s true that the Assyrian kings have destroyed all those nations and their regions, 19 and his men threw their gods into the fire, because they weren’t gods at all—they’re just crafted from wood and stone, so they destroyed them. 20 But now, Yahweh our god, save us from his power so that all of the world’s kingdoms will know that you alone are Yahweh who is God.
Exo 25:22:
22 Then I’ll meet with you there, and from the atonement platform between the two winged-creatures and above the stone slabs, I’ll be able to tell you my commands to pass on to the Israelis.
