Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. 2Ch 28:271Ch 3:13Mat 1:9-102Ki 16:202Ki 15:302Ki 16:22Ki 18:9 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 Zechariah. 2Ch 29:1-2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done. 2Ki 20:31Ki 11:381Ki 11:41Ki 15:111Ki 15:51Ki 3:142Ch 29:22Ch 31:20-21 He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan. 2Ch 31:1Num 21:8-92Ki 18:221Ki 15:12-141Ki 22:431Ki 3:2-32Ki 12:3Deu 12:2-3 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him. 2Ki 23:252Ki 19:10Mat 27:43Eph 1:122Ch 32:7-8Job 13:15Psa 13:5Psa 146:5-6 For he joined with the LORD. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. Deu 10:20Jos 23:8Jhn 14:15Act 11:231Jn 5:32Ki 17:13Jhn 15:142Ki 17:16 The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him. 2Ki 16:7Gen 39:2-3Psa 60:12Rom 8:311Sa 18:142Ch 31:212Ch 32:30Mat 28:20 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. 2Ki 17:9Isa 14:292Ch 28:181Ch 4:412Ch 26:10Isa 5:2
In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it. Hos 10:142Ki 17:3-232Ki 18:1 At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. Amo 3:11Amo 6:7Amo 9:1-4Hos 13:16Mic 1:6-9Mic 6:16Mic 7:13 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, 1Ch 5:262Ki 17:6Isa 37:122Ki 19:11Act 7:43Amo 5:1-3Amo 5:25-27Amo 5:6 because they didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it. 1Ki 9:61Pe 2:81Pe 4:172Ki 17:7-232Th 1:82Ti 2:24Dan 9:6-11Deu 11:28
Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. Isa 36:1-222Ch 32:1-23Hos 12:1-2Isa 10:5Isa 7:17-25Isa 8:7-8 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents 1 of gold. 2Ki 18:71Ki 20:4Luk 14:32Pro 29:25 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house. 1Ki 15:18-192Ki 16:82Ch 16:22Ki 12:181Ki 15:15 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 1Ki 6:31-352Ch 29:3
The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field. 2Ki 20:20Isa 20:1Isa 7:3Isa 36:22Ch 32:9Isa 22:9-11 When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them. 2Ki 19:21Ki 4:32Ch 34:82Sa 20:242Sa 8:16-17Isa 22:15-24Isa 36:22Isa 36:3 Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust? Isa 36:42Ki 19:10Isa 10:8-142Ch 32:10-112Ch 32:14-162Ch 32:7-82Ki 18:222Ki 18:29-30 You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me? Pro 21:30-31 Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him. Isa 30:7Ezk 29:6-7Isa 30:2-32Ki 17:4Isa 31:1-3Isa 36:6Jer 46:17 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’? 2Ch 31:11Co 2:152Ch 32:122Ki 18:4-5Dan 3:15Isa 36:7Mat 27:43 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them. 1Ki 20:101Ki 20:181Sa 17:421Sa 17:44Isa 10:13-14Isa 36:8-9Neh 4:2-5Psa 123:3-4 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? Isa 10:82Ki 18:21Dan 2:37-38Dan 4:22Dan 4:37Deu 17:16Ezk 17:15Ezk 17:17 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’” 2Ki 19:61Ki 13:182Ch 35:212Ki 19:22-37Amo 3:6Isa 10:5-6Jhn 19:10-11
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.” Ezr 4:7Dan 2:4Isa 36:11-122Ki 18:18
But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?” 2Ki 6:25Deu 28:53-57Ezk 4:13Ezk 4:15Lam 4:5Psa 73:8
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.

Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Deu 8:7-9Deu 11:12Exo 3:82Ki 17:232Ki 17:62Ki 18:112Ki 24:14-162Ki 25:11 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
