## 2 Kings 18:26 in Context (Verses 23–29 KJV)
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/23) Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/24) How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/25) Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/26) Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand *it:* and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that *are* on the wall.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/27) But Rab-shakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? *hath he* not *sent me* to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/28) Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
 
 [29 ](/kjv/2-kings/18/29) Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
