And Hezekiahª kingª of Judahª sentª° to¹ the kingª of Assyriaª to Lachish,ª saying,ª° I have offended;ª° returnª° from¹¹ me:¹ that which¹ thou puttestª° on¹ me will I bear.ª° And the kingª of Assyriaª appointedª° unto¹ Hezekiahª kingª of Judahª threeª hundredª talentsª of silverª and thirtyª talentsª of gold.ª" {2Kg 18:13-14} + "Neither¹ let Hezekiahª make you trustª°¹ in¹ the LORD,ª saying,ª° The LORDª will surely²° deliverª° us, and¹ this¹ cityª shall not¹ be deliveredª° into the handª of the kingª of Assyria.ª" {2Kg 18:30} + "¹ Whom¹ hast thou reproachedª° and blasphemed?ª° and against¹ whom¹ hast thou exaltedª° [thy] voice,ª and lifted upª° thine eyesª on high?ª [even] against¹ the Holyª [One] of Israel.ª ...
