So how will you be delivered? ¹² Have the gods of the nations delivered them? No, my ancestors destroyed them — Gozan, Haran, Retzef and the people of ‘Eden who were in Tel'asar. ¹³ Where is the king of Hamat? the king of Arpad? the king of the city of S'farvayim, of Hena and ‘Ivah?'" ¹⁴ Hizkiyahu took the letter from the messengers' hands and read it. Then Hizkiyahu went up to the house of Adonai and spread it out before Adonai . ¹⁵ Hizkiyahu prayed as follows in the presence of Adonai : " Adonai God of Isra'el, who dwells above the k'ruvim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms on earth. You made heaven and earth. ¹⁶ Turn your ear, Adonai , and hear! Open your eyes, Adonai , and see! Hear the words that Sancheriv sent to taunt the living God. ¹⁷ It is true, Adonai , that the kings of Ashur have laid waste the nations and their lands
