King Hezekiah sends to Isaiah the prophet, and Isaiah answers with the LORD’s word

히스기야왕이 선지자 이사야에게 사람을 보내고 이사야가 여호와의 말씀으로 대답함

Isaiah 37:1–7: when King Hezekiah hears it, he tears his clothes, covers himself with sackcloth, and goes into the LORD’s house. He sends Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. They say to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth. It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’” So the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah. Isaiah says to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’” The Korean Revised Version says that Eliakim, Shebna and 제사장 중 어른들 (the elders among the priests) put on sackcloth, and then that the king sent them (37:2: … 굵은 베를 입으니라 왕이 그들을 … 보내매); it names Isaiah at 37:3 (이사야에게), where WEB reads “to him”, and reads 37:4 당신의 하나님 여호와께서 랍사게의 말을 들으셨을 것이라 (the LORD your God will have heard the words of Rabshakeh), where WEB reads “It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh”.
