Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you.
Withdraw from me.
That which you put on me, I will bear.”
The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
