2 Kings 19:24

---

← 2 Kings 19:23	2 Kings 19:24 (KJV)	2 Kings 19:25 →
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, [and into] the forest of his Carmel.	I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.	Hast thou not heard long ago [how] I have done it, [and] of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.
