2 Kings 18:22-24

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²² Suppose you say to me, ‘We rely on the Lord our God.’ Isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed,^(A) saying to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You must worship at this altar in Jerusalem’ ? ”

²³ ‘So now, make a bargain with my master the king of Assyria. I’ll give you two thousand horses if you’re able to supply riders for them! ²⁴ How then can you drive back a single officer^(B) among the least of my master’s servants? How can you rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
