The king of Assyria, warring against Libnah, sends messengers again to Hezekiah

립나에서 싸우는 앗수르 왕이 다시 히스기야에게 사자를 보냄

2 Kings 19:8–13: so Rabshakeh returns and finds the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish. When he hears it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” he sends messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, “Tell Hezekiah king of Judah this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered? Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed—Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar? Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’” The Korean Revised Version tells first that Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had departed from Lachish, and then that he went to Libnah and met the king, who was fighting there (19:8); it names the king of Assyria at 19:9, where WEB reads “he”, and gives the report of Tirhakah without a quotation (구스 왕 디르하가가 나와서 더불어 싸우고자 한다 함을 듣고); and it reads 구스 where WEB reads “Ethiopia”, 스발와임성의 왕 where WEB reads “the king of the city of Sepharvaim”, and 아와 where WEB reads “Ivvah”.
