2 Kings 19:10-13

2 KINGS—NOTE ON 2 Kings 19:10 Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you. In 2 Kings 18:19 the Rabshakeh claimed that Hezekiah was deceiving the people about what would happen if they trusted the Lord (2 Kings 18:29); here he claims that Hezekiah is the one deceived by the God in whom he trusts.
