3Now the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, "Behold, he has set out to fight against you." So he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10
"Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah: 'Do not let your God 4in whom you trust deceive you by promising that 5Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered?
12
6Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, 7Gozan, 8Haran, Rezeph, and the people of 9Eden who were in Telassar?

10Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?'"
