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? 35Who among all the gods of the lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, fthat the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”2 Kings 19:12-13
12 gHave the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, hGozan, iHaran, Rezeph, and the people of jEden who were in Telassar? 13 kWhere is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?’”2 Kings 19:17-18
17Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands 18and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, lbut the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed.2 Chronicles 32:13-17
13Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands at all able to deliver their lands out of my hand? 14Who among all the gods of those nations that my fathers devoted to destruction was able to deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand? 15Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!’”16And his servants said still more against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah. 17And he wrote letters to cast contempt on the Lord, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, “Like the gods of the nations of the lands who have not delivered their people from my hands, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver his people from my hand.”
