2 The king of As·syrʹi·a then sent the Rabʹsha·keh*+ with a vast army from Laʹchish+ to King Hez·e·kiʹah in Jerusalem. They took up a position by the conduit of the upper pool,+ which is at the highway of the laundryman’s field.+ 3 Then E·liʹa·kim+ son of Hil·kiʹah, who was in charge of the household,* Shebʹna+ the secretary, and Joʹah son of Aʹsaph the recorder came out to him.
