12. Did the gods of those people save them? No, my ancestors destroyed them all. They destroyed the cities of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden living in Tel Assar.
13. Where is the king of Hamath? The king of Arpad? The king of the city of Sepharvaim? The kings of Hena and Ivvah?’”
14. Hezekiah received the letters from the messengers and read them. Then he went up to the Lord’S Temple and laid the letters out in front of the Lord.
