Sennacherib Attacks Judah

13 ^aIn the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them. 14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me. Whatever you impose on me I will bear.” ^bAnd the king of Assyria required of Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents ^{▼▼A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms} of silver and thirty talents of gold.

Isaiah 9:4

4 ^dFor the yoke of his burden,
^eand the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as ^fon the day of Midian.

Isaiah 14:25

25 that ^gI will break the Assyrian in my land,
and on my mountains trample him underfoot;
and ^hhis yoke shall depart from them,
and ⁱhis burden from their shoulder.”

Nahum 1:9-13

9 What ^jdo you plot against the Lord?
^kHe will make a complete end;
trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 For they are ^llike entangled thorns,
like drunkards as they drink;
^mthey are consumed like stubble fully dried.
11 From you came one
ⁿwho plotted evil against the Lord,
a worthless counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord,
“Though they are at full strength and many,
^othey will be cut down and pass away.
^pThough I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more.
13 And now ^qI will break his yoke from off you
and will burst your bonds apart.”
