2 Kings 21:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 So the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘Look! I will bring so much trouble against Jerusalem and Judah that anyone who hears about it will be shocked.[a] 13 I will stretch the measuring line of Samaria[b] and the plumb line[c] of Ahab’s family over Jerusalem. A man wipes a dish, and then he turns it upside down. I will do that to Jerusalem. 14 There will still be a few of my people left, but I will leave them. I will give them to their enemies. Their enemies will take them as prisoners—they will be like the valuable things soldiers take in war.

- 2 Kings 21:12 will be shocked Literally, “both his ears will tingle.”
- 2 Kings 21:13 measuring line of Samaria Workers used a string with a weight to mark a straight line at the end of a stone wall. The pieces of stone that were outside the line were chipped off and thrown away. This shows that God was “throwing away” Samaria and Ahab’s family of kings.
- 2 Kings 21:13 plumb line A string with a weight on one end used to show that a wall or building was not straight.
