2 Kings 18:23 in Context — 2 Kings 18

21 Eis que tu confias agora neste bordão de cana quebrada, em Egito, no que se alguém se apoiar, lhe entrará pela mão, e se lhe passará. Assim é Faraó, rei do Egito, para todos os que nele confiam.

22 E se me dizeis: Nós confiamos no SENHOR nosso Deus: não é aquele cujos altos e altares tirou Ezequias, e disse a Judá e a Jerusalém: Diante deste altar adorareis em Jerusalém?

23 Portanto, agora eu te rogo que dês reféns a meu senhor, o rei da Assíria, e eu te darei dois mil cavalos, se tu puderes dar cavaleiros para eles.

24 Como, pois, farás virar o rosto de um capitão o menor dos servos de meu senhor, ainda que estais confiantes no Egito por seus carros e seus cavaleiros?

25 Além disso, acaso eu vim sem o SENHOR a este lugar, para destruí-lo? Foi o SENHOR que me disse: Sobe a esta terra, e destrói-a.
