Isaiah 36:19-22

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ What happened to the gods of Hamath, Arpad, and Sepharvaim? Were the gods of Samaria able to protect their land against the Assyrian forces? ²⁰ None of those gods kept their people safe from the king of Assyria. Do you think the Lord, your God, can do any better?

^21-22 Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah had been warned by King Hezekiah not to answer the Assyrian commander. So they tore their clothes in sorrow and reported to Hezekiah everything the commander had said.
