2 Kings 17:26

17:26 The king of Assyria was told, 1  “The nations whom you deported and settled in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land, so he has sent lions among them. They are killing the people 2  because they do not know the requirements of the God of the land.”

2 Kings 18:17

18:17 The king of Assyria sent his commanding general, the chief eunuch, and the chief adviser 3  from Lachish to King Hezekiah in Jerusalem, 4  along with a large army. They went up and arrived at Jerusalem. They went 5  and stood at the conduit of the upper pool which is located on the road to the field where they wash and dry cloth. 6 

2 Kings 18:31

18:31 Don’t listen to Hezekiah!’ For this is what the king of Assyria says, ‘Send me a token of your submission and surrender to me. 7  Then each of you may eat from his own vine and fig tree and drink water from his own cistern,

2 Kings 19:4

19:4 Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all these things the chief adviser has spoken on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria, who sent him to taunt the living God. 8  When the Lord your God hears, perhaps he will punish him for the things he has said. 9  So pray for this remnant that remains.’” 10 

2 Kings 19:32

“He will not enter this city,

nor will he shoot an arrow here. 11 

He will not attack it with his shield-carrying warriors, 12 

nor will he build siege works against it.
