2 Kings 18:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² But if you say to me, “We trust in the Lord, our God,” is he not the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has eliminated, for he said to Judah and Jerusalem, “You will worship before this altar in Jerusalem.” ’

²³ “Therefore, give your pledge to my lord, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put riders on them. ²⁴ How could you repulse the least important of my master’s servants even though you are trusting Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
