Sennacherib Defies the Lord (2KI 19:8-13)

[19:8] The Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he heard that the king had left Lachish.

[19:9] Now the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, “Behold, he has set out to fight against you.” So he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,

[19:10] “Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

[19:11] Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered?

[19:12] Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar?

[19:13] Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?’”
