2 Then he sent E·liʹa·kim, who was in charge of the household,* Shebʹnah the secretary, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah,+ the son of Aʹmoz.

20 “‘In that day I will call my servant E·liʹa·kim+ the son of Hil·kiʹah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe and firmly bind your sash around him,+ and I will give your authority* into his hand. And he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 And I will put the key of the house of David+ on his shoulder. He will open and no one will shut; and he will shut and no one will open. 23 I will drive him in as a peg in a lasting place, and he will become as a throne of glory to the house of his father. 24 And they will hang on him all the glory* of the house of his father, the descendants and the offspring,* all the small vessels, the bowl-shaped vessels, as well as all the large jars.
