8Then the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

9And he heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “He has come out to fight against you.” And when he heard, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

10Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’

11Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them utterly—and will you be delivered?

12Did the gods of the nations that my fathers destroyed deliver them—Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar?

13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and of Ivvah?
