  ²⁰It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
  ²¹and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
  ²²I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
  ²³I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
  ²⁴They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
  ²⁵“In that day,” says the LORD of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it.”

2 Kings 18:18 and Isaiah 36:3 name Shebna (2 Kings 18:18 in WEB: Shebnah) the scribe, and Isaiah 22:15 names Shebna, who is over the house. Both editions give the two places another office (the Korean Revised Version: 서기관; 국고를 맡고 궁을 차지한). Among the words, 22:20–21 says, “I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah” and “I will commit your government into his hand”, and 36:3 names “Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household”. The text does not say whether Shebna who is over the house and Shebna the scribe are the same man. This collection records the two apart, and does not decide whether they are the same man.
