12. Elijah it was, who was wrapped in a tempest: And Elisha was filled with his spirit; And in all his days he was not moved by the fear of any ruler, And no one brought him into subjection.
13. Nothing was too high for him; And when he was laid on sleep his body prophesied.
14. As in his life he did wonders, So in death were his works marvelous.
15. For all this the people repented not, And they departed not from their sins, Till they were carried away as a spoil from their land, And were scattered through all the earth; And the people was left very few in number, And a ruler was left in the house of David.
16. Some of them did that which was pleasing to God, And some multiplied sins.
17. Hezekiah fortified his city, And brought in water into the midst of them: He digged the sheer rock with iron, And builded up wells for waters.
18. In his days Sennacherib came up, And sent Rabshakeh, and departed; And he lifted up his hand against Sion, And boasted great things in his arrogancy.
