2 Kings 18:23

²² And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem? ²³ And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them. ²⁴ How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:
