2 Kings 18 (성경통독): In this chapter, we learn about Hezekiah of Judah who was a good king who kept to the standards of his ancestor David and put his whole trust in the God of Israel. Nevertheless, his efforts to hold off Shalmaneser king of Assyria was not enough. So in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the outlying fortress cities of Judah and captured them. The king of Assyria sent his top three military chiefs (the Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh) from Lachish with a strong military force to King Hezekiah in Jerusalem. The Rabshakeh tried to mislead the people of Judah to believe that Hezekiah would fool them and that they should not listen to him; the Rabshakeh would even go on to say " Has there ever been a god anywhere who delivered anyone from the king of Assyria?" So Eliakim son of Hilkiah, the palace administrator, and Shebna the royal secretary, and Joah son of Asaph the court historian went back to Hezekiah. They had ripped their robes in despair; they reported to Hezekiah the speech of the Rabshakeh.
