2 Kings 18:24

Assyrians Advise Against Trust In Yahweh

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: ²⁵ And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.
