Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it?
The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
