26Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, |Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it. Don't speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.|
23 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.

25 Have I now come up without Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, 'Go up against this land, and destroy it.'|'|
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, |Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it. Don't speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.|
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, |Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?|
28 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, |Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
