2 Chronicles 32:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Sennacherib’s ·officers [officials] ·said worse things against [further insulted/mocked] the Lord God and his servant Hezekiah. ¹⁷ King Sennacherib also wrote letters ·insulting [mocking] the Lord, the God of Israel. They spoke against him, saying, “The gods of the other nations could not ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] their people from me. In the same way Hezekiah’s ·god [God] won’t be able to ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] his people from me.” ¹⁸ Then the king’s ·officers [officials] shouted in ·Hebrew [^Lthe language of Judah], calling out to the people of Jerusalem who were on the city wall. The ·officers [officials] wanted to ·scare [frighten and terrify] the people so they could capture Jerusalem.
