2 Kings 18:22-24

GOD’S WORD Translation

²² Suppose you tell me, “We’re trusting the Lord our God.” He’s the god whose places of worship and altars Hezekiah got rid of. He told Judah and Jerusalem, “Worship at this altar in Jerusalem.” ’

²³ “Now, make a deal with my master, the king of Assyria. I’ll give you 2,000 horses if you can put riders on them. ²⁴ How can you defeat my master’s lowest-ranking officers when you trust Egypt for chariots and horses?
