The pledges to the king of Assyria and the two thousand horses
앗수르 왕과 내기하라는 말과 말 이천필
2 Kings 18:23–25: Rabshakeh goes on with the king’s message (these verses do not name the speaker; his words begin at 18:19), “Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them. How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’” WEB closes the king’s message, opened at 18:19, at the end of 18:25; the Korean Revised Version closes the great king’s words at the end of 18:22 and gives these three verses as Rabshakeh’s own words, which call the king 내 주 앗수르 왕 (my master the king of Assyria). At 18:25 the speaker tells what the LORD said to him; the LORD does not speak here.
