The king of Assyria, warring against Libnah, hears news of Tirhakah and sends messengers to Hezekiah

립나를 치는 앗수르 왕이 디르하가의 일을 듣고 히스기야에게 사자들을 보냄

Isaiah 37:8–13: so Rabshakeh returns, and finds the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish. The king of Assyria (WEB “He”) hears news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he hears it, he sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t 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. Shall 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, and 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 met the king fighting against Libnah (37:8); it names the king of Assyria at 37:9 (앗수르 왕이), gives what he heard without a quotation as 그가 나와서 왕과 싸우려 한다 (he has come out to fight with the king), and reads 구스 where WEB reads “Ethiopia”, and 이와 where WEB reads “Ivvah” (37:13).
