2 Kings 18:34-36

New International Reader's Version

³⁴ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah? Have they saved Samaria from my power? ³⁵ Which one of all the gods of those countries has been able to save his land from me? So how can the Lord save Jerusalem from my power?”

³⁶ But the people remained silent. They didn’t say anything. That’s because King Hezekiah had commanded, “Don’t answer him.”
