2 Kings 19:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 ¶ So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 [a]He heard also men say of Tirhakah king of [b]Ethiopia, [c]Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he therefore departed and sent other messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, and say, Let not thy [d]God deceive thee in whom thou trustest, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
