2 Raja-raja 19:9-11

19:9 The king ¹  heard that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was marching out to fight him. ²  He again sent messengers to Hezekiah, ordering them: 19:10 “Tell King Hezekiah of Judah this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust mislead you when he says, “Jerusalem will not be handed over ³  to the king of Assyria.” 19:11 Certainly you have heard how the kings of Assyria have annihilated all lands. ⁴  Do you really think you will be rescued? ⁵

[19:10]  ³ tn Heb “will not be given.”

[19:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, annihilating them.”
