2 Kings 18 · Grade 3
Whom Will You Trust?
Read the Story
Hezekiah did right like David. He took away the high places and broke the pillars. He broke the bronze snake Moses made. The people had been burning incense to it. He trusted the Lord. No king of Judah was like him. The Lord was with him.
Sennacherib king of Assyria took the strong cities of Judah. Hezekiah paid him silver and gold. But Sennacherib still sent a great army to Jerusalem. His officer, the Rabshakeh, stood by the wall and shouted.
He asked what Hezekiah was trusting in. He said not to let Hezekiah make them trust the Lord. He said no god had saved any land from Assyria. The people stayed silent. Hezekiah had told them not to answer. Hezekiah's men tore their clothes and told him what was said.
Memory Verse
