Löydetty 121 Tulokset: Hezekiah
After this, while Sennacherib, king of Assyria, himself remained at Lachish with all his forces, he sent his officials to Jerusalem with this message for King Hezekiah of Judah, and all the Judahites who were in Jerusalem: (2 Chronicles 32, 9)
Has not Hezekiah deceived you, delivering you over to a death of famine and thirst, by his claim that 'the LORD, our God, will save us from the grasp of the king of Assyria'? (2 Chronicles 32, 11)
Has not this same Hezekiah removed his high places and altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, 'You shall prostrate yourselves before one altar only, and on it alone you shall offer incense'? (2 Chronicles 32, 12)
Let not Hezekiah mislead you further and deceive you in any such way. Do not believe him! Since no other god of any other nation or kingdom has been able to save his people from my hand or the hands of my fathers, how much the less shall your god save you from my hand!" (2 Chronicles 32, 15)
His officials said still more against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah, (2 Chronicles 32, 16)
for he had written letters to deride the LORD, the God of Israel, speaking of him in these terms: "As the gods of the nations in other lands have not saved their people from my hand, neither shall Hezekiah's god save his people from my hand." (2 Chronicles 32, 17)
But because of this, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amos, prayed and called out to heaven. (2 Chronicles 32, 20)
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, as from every other power; he gave them rest on every side. (2 Chronicles 32, 22)
Many brought gifts for the LORD to Jerusalem and costly objects for King Hezekiah of Judah, who thereafter was exalted in the eyes of all the nations. (2 Chronicles 32, 23)
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. He prayed to the LORD, who answered him by giving him a sign. (2 Chronicles 32, 24)
Hezekiah, however, did not then discharge his debt of gratitude, for he had become proud. Therefore anger descended upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 32, 25)
But then Hezekiah humbled himself for his pride--both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and therefore the LORD did not vent his anger on them during the time of Hezekiah. (2 Chronicles 32, 26)
