9 When Sennacherib and his troops were camped at the town of Lachish, he sent a message to Hezekiah and the people in Jerusalem. It said:

10 I am King Sennacherib of Assyria, and I have Jerusalem surrounded. Do you think you can survive my attack?

11 Hezekiah your king is telling you that the LORD your God will save you from me. But he is lying, and you’ll die of hunger and thirst.
