## Isaiah 36:21-22 in Context (Verses 18–22 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/isaiah/36/18) *Beware* lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
 
 [19 ](/kjv/isaiah/36/19) Where *are* the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where *are* the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
 
 [20 ](/kjv/isaiah/36/20) Who *are they* among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/isaiah/36/21) But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/isaiah/36/22) ¶ Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that *was* over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with *their* clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
