great men of the city, which brought them up.

saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the
chariot.

Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said
Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and

chariot,
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a
great sacrifice to do to
Baal;
whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But
Jehu did it in
subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of
Baal.
Now, therefore,
summon to me all the prophets of
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a
great sacrifice for
Baal.
Whoever is missing will not live.” But

sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the
brasen altar shall be for me to
enquire by.

Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell
Hezekiah that this is what the
great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?

great king, the king of Assyria:
Then the
Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the word of the
great king, the king of Assyria!

ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender
green shoots, grass on the rooftops,
scorched before it is grown.

provoke him to anger.

sorcery and
divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did
great evil in the sight of the LORD,
provoking Him to anger.

listen and
Manasseh led them
astray, so that they did
greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
Go ye,
enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for

kindled against us, because our fathers have not
hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
