Now Sennacherib received a report that Tirhakah, the king of Cush, was marching out to fight against him. When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah with this word:

Now the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush,“ He has set out to fight against you.” And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

Soon afterward King Sennacherib received word that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was leading an army to fight against him. Before leaving to meet the attack, he sent messengers back to Hezekiah in Jerusalem with this message:

The king had heard concerning King Tirhakah of Cush,“ He has set out to fight against you.” So when he heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

Now he heard them say regarding Tirhakah king of Cush,“ He has come out to fight against you,” and when he heard it he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

And the king heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia,“ He has come out to make war with you.” So when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

The king had heard this about Tirhakah king of Cush:“ He has set out to fight against you.” So when he heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard[ it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

The king heard that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was marching out to fight him. He again sent messengers to Hezekiah, ordering them:

He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia,“ He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

Just then a messenger came to Saul. He said,“ Come quickly! The Philistines are attacking the land.”So Saul stopped chasing David. He went to fight against the Philistines. That’s why they call that place Sela Hammahlekoth.

How terrible it will be for the land whose armies are like large numbers of flying insects! That land is along the rivers of Cush.

Listen! I will send him news from his own country. It will make him want to return home. There I will have him cut down by a sword.” ’ ”

People trusted in Cush to help them. They bragged about what Egypt could do for them. But they will lose heart and be put to shame.
