9. And [Sennacherib king of Assyria] heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

11. Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, destroying them utterly. And shall you be delivered?
