1 ^jIn the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, ^kSennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. 2 ^lAnd the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh¹ from ^mLachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem, with a great army. And he stood ⁿby the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer’s Field. 3 And there came out to him ^oEliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and ^oShebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder.
