Read the Story

The king of Assyria took many towns in Judah. He sent his man Rabshakeh to Jerusalem.

Rabshakeh shouted to the people, "What confidence is this in which you trust?" He said, "Don't let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh." He said no god could save them.

"But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king's commandment was, “Don't answer him.”" Then the king's men went to tell the king. They were sad.
