1599 Geneva Bible
37 2 Hezekiah asketh counsel of Isaiah, who promiseth him the victory. 10 The blasphemy of Sennacherib. 16 Hezekiah’s prayer. 36 The army of Sennacherib is slain of the Angel. 38 And he himself of his own sons.
1 And (A)when the King Hezekiah heard it, he [a]rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the house of the Lord.
2 And he sent Eliakim the steward of the house, and Shebna the chancellor, with the Elders of the Priests, clothed in sackcloth unto [b]Isaiah the Prophet the son of Amoz.
3 And he said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemy: for the children are come to the [c]birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
