2 Kings 18:23

23Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.

2 Kings 18:33-34

33 aHas any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 34 bWhere are the gods of cHamath and dArpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and eIvvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

Psalms 20:7

7Some trust in fchariots and some in ghorses,
hbut we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Isaiah 10:7-11

7But he idoes not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
8for he says:
j“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 kIs not lCalno like mCarchemish?
Is not nHamath like oArpad?
pIs not qSamaria like Damascus?
10As my hand has reached to rthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11shall I not do to Jerusalem and sher idols
tas I have done to Samaria and her images?”

Isaiah 10:14

14My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”

Isaiah 37:24-25

24By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, uWith my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon,
vto cut down its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
its most fruitful forest.
25I dug wells
and drank waters,
to dry up with the sole of my foot
all wthe streams xof Egypt.

Ezekiel 31:3-18

3Behold, yAssyria was a zcedar in aaLebanon,
with beautiful branches and abforest shade,
acand of towering height,
its top among the clouds.
Or  its top went through the thick boughs; also verses 10, 14

4The waters nourished it;
the deep made it grow tall,
making aeits rivers flow
around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
to all the trees of the field.
5So afit towered high
above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
and its branches long
from agabundant water in its shoots.
6 ahAll the birds of the heavens
made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
gave birth to their young,
and under its shadow
lived all great nations.
7It was aibeautiful in its greatness,
in the length of its branches;
ajfor its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8 akThe cedars alin the garden of God could not rival it,
nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane trees
like its branches;
no tree amin the garden of God
was its equal in beauty.
9I made it beautiful
in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of anEden envied it,
that were in the garden of God.
10Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because aoit
Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew you
towered high and set its top among the clouds, and aqits heart was proud of its height,
11I will give it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations. He shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out. 12 arForeigners, asthe most ruthless of nations, have cut it down and left it. atOn the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all authe ravines of the land, and avall the peoples of the earth have gone away from its shadow and left it. 13 awOn its fallen trunk dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field. 14 axAll this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds, and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, ayto the world azbelow, among the children of man,
Or  of Adam
with those who go down to the pit.

15Thus says the Lord God: On the day bbthe cedar
Hebrew it
went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I closed the deep over it, and restrained its rivers, and many waters were stopped. I clothed Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.
16 bdI made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, bewhen I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit. bfAnd all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, bgwere comforted in the world below. 17They also went down to Sheol with it, bhto those who are slain by the sword; yes, bithose who were its arm, bjwho lived under its shadow among the nations.

18 bkWhom are you thus like in glory and in greatness blamong the trees of Eden? bmYou shall be brought down with bnthe trees of Eden to the world below. boYou shall lie among the uncircumcised, bpwith those who are slain by the sword.

bq“This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”
