Chapter 18

II Kings Chapter 18 Begs the Questions:

Who Commanded To Love Jesus?

Who Said That G-d Is Trinity, Triune or 3-in-1?

Why The Cross Is Revered?

These are only 3 from the long list of man-made commandments that G-d never spoken to His servants the prophets in the Holy Bible (Old Testament).

On top of it, the Greek book – New Testament teaches those, and to disregard G-d’s commandments.

Learn here again, if G-d was ever pleased in disobeying His commandments, laws, decrees, ordinances, statutes… His word.

“Hezekiah, King Of Judah – A Righteous King”

It was in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel: Hezekiah, son of Ahaz king of Judah, became king.
18:1
He did what was proper in the eyes of Hashem, just as his forefather David had done.
18:3
He removed the high places, shattered the pillars, and cut down the Asherah-trees; he [also] ground up the copper serpent that Moses had made — for until those days the Children of Israel used to burn incense before it; he called it Nehushtan.
:4
He trusted in Hashem, the God of Israel; after him there was not anyone like him among the kings of Judah, nor among those who preceded him.
:5
He clung to Hashem and did not turn aside from [following] after Him; he observed His commandments, which Hashem had commanded Moses.
:6
Hashem was with him; whenever he ventured he was successful. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
:7
The king of Assyria exiled Israel to Assyria, …
:11
[This was] because they did not heed the voice of Hashem their God, and they transgressed His covenant — all that Moses, the servant of Hashem, had commanded, they did not heed and they did not fulfill.
:13
Hezekiah gave all the money that was found in the Temple of Hashem and in the treasuries of the king’s palace.
:15
Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah: Thus said the great king, the king of Assyria: What is this confidence of which you are so confidence?
:19
How dare you turn away even a single minor captain from among the servants of my master, and depend on Egypt for chariot and horsemen!
:24
Now, is it without [the consent of] Hashem that I have come up to this place to destroy it? Hashem told me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it!’”
:25
And let not Hezekiah reassure you with Hashem, saying, ‘Hashem will surely save us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria!’
30
Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me, and each man will be able to eat [the fruits of] his grapevine and each man [the fruits of] his fig tree, and each man will drink the water of his well.
:31
Which among all the gods of the lands saved their land from my hand, that Hashem should save Jerusalem from my hand?”
:35

1 And it was in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, the king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz the king of Judah, became king.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and his mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like all that his father David had done.
4 He abolished the high places, and smashed the monuments, and cut down the asherah, and crushed the copper serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the children of Israel were burning incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
5 He trusted in the God of Israel there was none like him among all the kings of Judah who were after him, nor were there before him.
6 He cleaved to the Lord; he did not turn away from following Him; he kept His commandments, which He had commanded Moses.
7 Now the Lord was with him: in everything he ventured he succeeded; and he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
8 He slew the Philistines up to Gaza and its boundaries, from watchtower to fortified city.
9 And it was in the fourth year of King Hezekiah-that is the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel-that Shalmaneser the king of Assyria went up to Samaria and laid siege to it.
10 And they captured it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which is the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
11 And the king of Assyria exiled Israel to Assyria, and he settled them in Halah and in Habor, the Gozan River, and the cities of Media.
12 Because they did not obey the Lord their God and transgressed His covenant, all that He had commanded Moses the servant of the Lord, and they did not obey nor did they do [His will].
13 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib the king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them.
14 And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, “I have sinned, withdraw from me; whatever you impose upon me, I will bear.” And the king of Assyria imposed upon Hezekiah, king of Judah, three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king’s palace.
16 At that time, Hezekiah stripped the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the thresholds which Hezekiah the king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria.
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with an army of a great [multitude] to Jerusalem, and they went up and came and stood near the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the road of the washer’s field.
18 And they summoned the king, and Eliakim the son of Hilkiah who was appointed over the palace, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to them.
19 And Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘So has the great king, the king of Assyria, said, “What is this confidence that you have trusted?
20 You have said but words of the lips; counsel and might are needed for war. Now, on whom do you depend that you have rebelled against me?
21 Now, behold you have depended upon the support of this splintered reed, upon Egypt, upon whom a man will lean and it will go into his palm and puncture it; so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt to all those who trust in him.
22 And if you say to me, ‘We trust the Lord our God,’ is He not the one Whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed? He has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘Before this altar in Jerusalem shall you prostrate yourselves.’
23 And now, wager now with my lord the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able to supply riders upon them of your men.
24 And how can you repulse one captain of the smallest of my master’s servants, and you rely on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
25 Now is it with other than the Lord that I have come up against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’ “
26 And Eliakim the son of Hilkiah and Shebnah and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic for we understand it; do not speak with us in Judean within the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
27 And Rabshakeh said to them, “Did my master send me to speak these words to your master and to you? Is it not to the men who sit on the wall to eat their dung and drink their urine with you?”
28 And Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in Judean, and he spoke and said, “Listen to the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!
29 So has the king said, ‘Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you from his hand.
30And let not Hezekiah make you rely on the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord will save us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
31Do not listen to Hezekiah, for so has the king of Assyria said, “Make peace with me, and come out to me, and each man will eat of his vine and each man of his fig tree, and each man will drink the water of his cistern.
32Until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil yielding olives and honey, and you may live and not die, and do not heed Hezekiah for he will mislead you, saying, ‘The Lord will save us.’
33Have the gods of the nations saved each one his land, from the hand of the king of Assyria?
34Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad, where are the gods of Sepharvaim? He exiled them and twisted them. Now, did they save Samaria from my hand?
35Who are they among all the gods of the lands who saved their land from my hand, that the Lord should save Jerusalem from my hand?’ “
36And the people remained silent and did not answer him even one word, for it was the king’s order, saying, “Do not answer him.”
37And Eliakim the son of Hilkiah who was appointed over the palace and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah, with torn garments, and they related to him the words of Rabshakeh.

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
