22But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?Select 2 Kings 18:22

23Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.Select 2 Kings 18:23

24How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?Select 2 Kings 18:24

25Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.Select 2 Kings 18:25
