2 Kings 18:24-26

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁴ How then can you ^[a]repulse one ^[b]official of the least of my master’s servants, and ^[c]rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? ²⁵ Have I now come up ^[d]without the Lord’s approval against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”’”

²⁶ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, for we ^[e]understand it; and do not speak with us in ^[f](A)Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
