13 (A)Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria marched against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them. 14 Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent messengers to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “(B)I have done wrong. [a]Withdraw from me; whatever you impose on me I will endure.” So the king of Assyria imposed on Hezekiah king of Judah the payment of three hundred [b]talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 15 (C)Hezekiah then gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king’s house.
