12 because they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 And Hezekiah gave 'him' all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off 'the gold from' the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and 'from' the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
