2Kgs 18:2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

wayya‘aś hayyāšār bə‘ênê yəhwāh kəḵōl ’ăšer-‘āśāh dāwiḏ ’āḇîw

2Kgs 18:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

hû’ hēsîr ’eṯ-habbāmôṯ wəšibbar ’eṯ-hammaṣṣēḇōṯ wəḵāraṯ ’eṯ-hā’ăšērāh wəḵittaṯ nəḥaš hannəḥōšeṯ ’ăšer-‘āśāh mōšeh kî ‘aḏ-hayyāmîm hāhēmmāh hāyû ḇənê-yiśərā’ēl məqaṭṭərîm lô wayyiqərā’-lô nəḥušətān

2Kgs 18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

bayhwāh ’ĕlōhê-yiśərā’ēl bāṭāḥ wə’aḥărāyw lō’-hāyāh ḵāmōhû bəḵōl maləḵê yəhûḏāh wa’ăšer hāyû ləp̱ānāyw

2Kgs 18:5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

wayyiḏəbaq bayhwāh lō’-sār mē’aḥărāyw wayyišəmōr miṣəwōṯāyw ’ăšer-ṣiwwāh yəhwāh ’eṯ-mōšeh

2Kgs 18:6 For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

wəhāyāh yəhwāh ‘immô bəḵōl ’ăšer-yēṣē’ yaśəkîl wayyimərōḏ bəmeleḵ-’aššûr wəlō’ ‘ăḇāḏô

2Kgs 18:7 And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

hû’-hikkāh ’eṯ-pəlišətîm ‘aḏ-‘azzāh wə’eṯ-gəḇûleyhā mimmig̱ədal nôṣərîm ‘aḏ-‘îr miḇəṣār

2Kgs 18:8 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

wayəhî baššānāh hārəḇî‘îṯ lammeleḵ ḥizəqiyyāhû hî’ haššānāh haššəḇî‘îṯ ləhôšēa‘ ben-’ēlāh meleḵ yiśərā’ēl ‘ālāh šaləmanə’eser meleḵ-’aššûr ‘al-šōmərôn wayyāṣar ‘āleyhā

2Kgs 18:9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

wayyiləkəḏuhā miqəṣēh šālōš šānîm bišənaṯ-šēš ləḥizəqiyyāh hî’ šənaṯ-tēša‘ ləhôšēa‘ meleḵ yiśərā’ēl niləkəḏāh šōmərôn

2Kgs 18:10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

wayyeg̱el meleḵ-’aššûr ’eṯ-yiśərā’ēl ’aššûrāh wayyanəḥēm baḥəlaḥ ûḇəḥāḇôr nəhar gôzān wə‘ārê māḏāy

2Kgs 18:11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

‘al ’ăšer lō’-šāmə‘û bəqôl yəhwāh ’ĕlōhêhem wayya‘aḇərû ’eṯ-bərîṯô ’ēṯ kāl-’ăšer ṣiwwāh mōšeh ‘eḇeḏ yəhwāh wəlō’ šāmə‘û wəlō’ ‘āśû

2Kgs 18:12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

ûḇə’arəba‘ ‘eśərēh šānāh lammeleḵ ḥizəqiyyāh ‘ālāh sanəḥērîḇ meleḵ-’aššûr ‘al kāl-‘ārê yəhûḏāh habbəṣurôṯ wayyiṯəpəśēm

2Kgs 18:13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.

wayyišəlaḥ ḥizəqiyyāh meleḵ-yəhûḏāh ’el-meleḵ-’aššûr lāḵîšāh lē’mōr ḥāṭā’ṯî šûḇ mē‘ālay ’ēṯ ’ăšer-tittēn ‘ālay ’eśśā’ wayyāśem meleḵ-’aššûr ‘al-ḥizəqiyyāh meleḵ-yəhûḏāh šəlōš mē’ôṯ kikkar-kesep̱ ûšəlōšîm kikkar zāhāḇ

2Kgs 18:14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

wayyittēn ḥizəqiyyāh ’eṯ-kāl-hakkesep̱ hanniməṣā’ ḇêṯ-yəhwāh ûḇə’ōṣərôṯ bêṯ hammeleḵ

2Kgs 18:15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.

bā‘ēṯ hahî’ qiṣṣaṣ ḥizəqiyyāh ’eṯ-daləṯôṯ hêḵal yəhwāh wə’eṯ-hā’ōmənôṯ ’ăšer ṣippāh ḥizəqiyyāh meleḵ yəhûḏāh wayyittənēm ləmeleḵ ’aššûr

2Kgs 18:16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

wayyišəlaḥ meleḵ-’aššûr ’eṯ-tarətān wə’eṯ-raḇ-sārîs wə’eṯ-raḇ-šāqēh min-lāḵîš ’el-hammeleḵ ḥizəqiyyāhû bəḥêl kāḇēḏ yərûšālāim wayya‘ălû wayyāḇō’û yərûšālaim wayya‘ălû wayyāḇō’û wayya‘aməḏû biṯə‘ālaṯ habbərēḵāh hā‘eləyônāh ’ăšer biməsillaṯ śəḏēh ḵôḇēs

2Kgs 18:17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.

wayyiqərə’û ’el-hammeleḵ wayyēṣē’ ’ălēhem ’eləyāqîm ben-ḥiləqiyyāhû ’ăšer ‘al-habbāyiṯ wəšeḇənāh hassōp̱ēr wəyô’āḥ ben-’āsāp̱ hammazəkîr

2Kgs 18:18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

wayyō’mer ’ălēhem raḇ-šāqēh ’imərû-nā’ ’el-ḥizəqiyyāhû kōh-’āmar hammeleḵ haggāḏôl meleḵ ’aššûr māh habbiṭṭāḥôn hazzeh ’ăšer bāṭāḥətā

2Kgs 18:19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

’āmarətā ’aḵ-dəḇar-śəp̱āṯayim ‘ēṣāh ûg̱əḇûrāh lammiləḥāmāh ‘attāh ‘al-mî ḇāṭaḥətā kî māraḏətā bî

2Kgs 18:20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

‘attāh hinnēh ḇāṭaḥətā lləḵā ‘al-mišə‘eneṯ haqqāneh hārāṣûṣ hazzeh ‘al-miṣərayim ’ăšer yissāmēḵ ’îš ‘ālāyw ûḇā’ ḇəḵappô ûnəqāḇāhh kēn parə‘ōh meleḵ-miṣərayim ləḵāl-habbōṭəḥîm ‘ālāyw

2Kgs 18:21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

wəḵî-ṯō’mərûn ’ēlay ’el-yəhwāh ’ĕlōhênû bāṭāḥənû hălô’-hû’ ’ăšer hēsîr ḥizəqiyyāhû ’eṯ-bāmōṯāyw wə’eṯ-mizəbəḥōṯāyw wayyō’mer lîhûḏāh wəlîrûšālaim lip̱ənê hammizəbēaḥ hazzeh tišətaḥăwû bîrûšālāim

2Kgs 18:22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

wə‘attāh hiṯə‘āreḇ nā’ ’eṯ-’ăḏōnî ’eṯ-meleḵ ’aššûr wə’ettənāh ləḵā ’aləpayim sûsîm ’im-tûḵal lāṯeṯ ləḵā rōḵəḇîm ‘ălêhem

2Kgs 18:23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

wə’êḵ tāšîḇ ’ēṯ pənê p̱aḥaṯ ’aḥaḏ ‘aḇəḏê ’ăḏōnî haqqəṭannîm wattiḇəṭaḥ ləḵā ‘al-miṣərayim ləreḵeḇ ûləp̱ārāšîm

2Kgs 18:24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

‘attāh hămibbalə‘ăḏê yəhwāh ‘ālîṯî ‘al-hammāqôm hazzeh ləhašəḥiṯô yəhwāh ’āmar ’ēlay ‘ălēh ‘al-hā’āreṣ hazzō’ṯ wəhašəḥîṯāhh

2Kgs 18:25 Am 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.

wayyō’mer ’eləyāqîm ben-ḥiləqiyyāhû wəšeḇənāh wəyô’āḥ ’el-raḇ-šāqēh dabber-nā’ ’el-‘ăḇāḏeyḵā ’ărāmîṯ kî šōmə‘îm ’ănāḥənû wə’al-təḏabbēr ‘immānû yəhûḏîṯ bə’āzənê hā‘ām ’ăšer ‘al-haḥōmāh

2Kgs 18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

wayyō’mer wayyō’mer ’ălêhem ’ălêhem raḇ-raḇ-šāqēh šāqēh ha‘al ha‘al ’ăḏōneyḵā ’ăḏōneyḵā wə’ēleyḵā wə’ēleyḵā šəlāḥanî šəlāḥanî ’ăḏōnî ’ăḏōnî ləḏabbēr ləḏabbēr ’eṯ-’eṯ-haddəḇārîm haddəḇārîm hā’ēlleh hā’ēlleh hălō’ hălō’ ‘al-‘al-hā’ănāšîm hā’ănāšîm hayyōšəḇîm hayyōšəḇîm ‘al-‘al-haḥōmāh haḥōmāh le’ĕḵōl le’ĕḵōl ṣô’āṯām ’eṯ-ṣô’āṯām wəlišətôṯ wəlišətôṯ rag̱əlêhem ‘immāḵem ’eṯ-mêmê rag̱əlêhem ‘immāḵem

2Kgs 18:27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

wayya‘ămōḏ raḇ-šāqēh wayyiqərā’ ḇəqôl-gāḏôl yəhûḏîṯ wayəḏabbēr wayyō’mer šimə‘û dəḇar-hammeleḵ haggāḏôl meleḵ ’aššûr

2Kgs 18:28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

kōh ’āmar hammeleḵ ’al-yaššî’ lāḵem ḥizəqiyyāhû kî-lō’ yûḵal ləhaṣṣîl ’eṯəḵem miyyāḏô

2Kgs 18:29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

wə’al-yaḇəṭaḥ ’eṯəḵem ḥizəqiyyāhû ’el-yəhwāh lē’mōr haṣṣēl yaṣṣîlēnû yəhwāh wəlō’ ṯinnāṯēn ’eṯ-hā‘îr hazzō’ṯ bəyaḏ meleḵ ’aššûr

2Kgs 18:30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

’al-tišəmə‘û ’el-ḥizəqiyyāhû kî ḵōh ’āmar meleḵ ’aššûr ‘ăśû-’ittî ḇərāḵāh ûṣə’û ’ēlay wə’iḵəlû ’îš-gap̱ənô wə’îš tə’ēnāṯô ûšəṯû ’îš mê-ḇôrô

2Kgs 18:31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

‘aḏ-bō’î wəlāqaḥətî ’eṯəḵem ’el-’ereṣ kə’arəṣəḵem ’ereṣ dāg̱ān wəṯîrôš ’ereṣ leḥem ûḵərāmîm ’ereṣ zêṯ yiṣəhār ûḏəḇaš wiḥəyû wəlō’ ṯāmuṯû wə’al-tišəmə‘û ’el-ḥizəqiyyāhû kî-yassîṯ ’eṯəḵem lē’mōr yəhwāh yaṣṣîlēnû

2Kgs 18:32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

hahaṣṣēl hiṣṣîlû ’ĕlōhê haggôyim ’îš ’eṯ-’arəṣô miyyaḏ meleḵ ’aššûr

2Kgs 18:33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

’ayyēh ’ĕlōhê ḥămāṯ wə’arəpāḏ ’ayyēh ’ĕlōhê səp̱arəwayim hēna‘ wə‘iwwāh kî-hiṣṣîlû ’eṯ-šōmərôn miyyāḏî

2Kgs 18:34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?

mî bəḵāl-’ĕlōhê hā’ărāṣôṯ ’ăšer-hiṣṣîlû ’eṯ-’arəṣām miyyāḏî kî-yaṣṣîl yəhwāh ’eṯ-yərûšālaim miyyāḏî

2Kgs 18:35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?

wəheḥĕrîšû hā‘ām wəlō’-‘ānû ’ōṯô dāḇār kî-miṣəwaṯ hammeleḵ hî’ lē’mōr lō’ ṯa‘ănuhû

2Kgs 18:36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

wayyāḇō’ ’eləyāqîm ben-ḥiləqiyyāh ’ăšer-‘al-habbayiṯ wəšeḇənā’ hassōp̱ēr wəyô’āḥ ben-’āsāp̱ hammazəkîr ’el-ḥizəqiyyāhû qərû‘ê ḇəg̱āḏîm wayyaggiḏû lô diḇərê raḇ-šāqēh

2Kgs 18:37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
