2 Berɛ a Hesekia huu sɛ Senaherib aba, na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔne Yerusalem bɛko no, 3 ɔne ne mpanimfoɔ ne n’akatakyie no faa adwene, na ɔsii gyinaeɛ sɛ ɔbɛsisi nsuwansuwa a ɛwowɔ kuro no akyi+ no, na wɔboaa no. 4 Nnipa bebree bɛhyiaeɛ, na wɔsisii nsutire ne nsubɔnten a ɛsene fa asaase no so nyinaa; wɔkaa sɛ: “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ Asiria ahemfo ba bɛnya nsuo pii wɔ ha?”
