2 Kings 18:35
18:35 Who among all the gods of the lands has rescued their lands from my power? So how can the Lord rescue Jerusalem from my power?’” 1
2 Kings 20:15
20:15 Isaiah 2 asked, “What have they seen in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They have seen everything in my palace. I showed them everything 3 in my treasuries.”
1 tn Heb “that the Lord might rescue Jerusalem from my hand?” The logic runs as follows: Since no god has ever been able to withstand the Assyrian onslaught, how can the people of Jerusalem possibly think the Lord will rescue them?
2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Isaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “there was nothing I did not show them.”
