2 Kings 18:5
18:5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; in this regard there was none like him among the kings of Judah either before or after. 1
2 Kings 18:29-30
18:29 This is what the king says: ‘Don’t let Hezekiah mislead you, for he is not able to rescue you from my hand! 2
18:30 Don’t let Hezekiah talk you into trusting in the Lord when he says, “The Lord will certainly rescue us; this city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.”
1 tn Heb “and after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, and those who were before him.”
2 tc The MT has “his hand,” but this is due to graphic confusion of vav (ו) and yod (י). The translation reads “my hand,” along with many medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, Targum, and Vulgate.
