Sennacherib sends servants from Lachish to mock Jerusalem’s trust

산헤립이 라기스에서 신복을 보내 예루살렘의 의뢰를 조롱함

2 Chronicles 32:9–15: while Sennacherib attacks Lachish with his forces, he sends servants to Hezekiah and Judah at Jerusalem. His message asks, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?” He accuses Hezekiah of deceiving the people, criticizes the removal of high places and altars, and claims no other nation’s gods delivered their people from his hand. His servants carry his warning not to believe Hezekiah; these are Sennacherib’s claims, not the narrator’s judgment.

⁹After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was attacking Lachish, and all his forces were with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
¹⁰Sennacherib king of Assyria says, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
¹¹Doesn’t Hezekiah persuade you to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria’?
¹²Hasn’t the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense on it’?
¹³Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
¹⁴Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
¹⁵Now therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you nor persuade you in this way. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?”
