Meanwhile, the officials of the king of Aram advised him,“ Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we fight them on the plains, surely we will be stronger than they.

During that time, the officials of the king of Aram gave him advice. They said,“ The gods of Israel are gods of the hills. That’s why they were too strong for us. But suppose we fight them on the plains. Then we’ll certainly be stronger than they are.

And the servants of the king of Syria said to him,“ Their gods are gods of the hills, and so they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

After their defeat, Ben hadad’s officers said to him,“ The Israelite gods are gods of the hills; that is why they won. But we can beat them easily on the plains.

Now the king of Aram’s servants said to him,“ Their gods are gods of the hill country. That’s why they were stronger than we were. Instead, we should fight with them on the plain; then we will certainly be stronger than they are.

Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him,“ Their gods are gods of the mountains; for that reason they were stronger than we. But let us fight them in the plain, and we will certainly be stronger than they.

Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him,“ Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they.

他們在各高岡上、各茂盛樹下築了邱壇，立了崇拜柱子、和亞舍拉神木。

有一個神人走近前來見以色列王說：『永恆主這麼說：「亞蘭人既說：『永恆主是山神，不是山谷的神』，那麼我就要將這一大隊蜂擁軍兵都交在你手裏，你們便知道我乃是永恆主。」』

你行了這些事，我緘不作聲；你想我和你一樣。其實我要責備你，要將這些事擺在你眼前呢。所以你們把上帝忘了的、要思想這事，免得我把你們撕碎，而沒有援救的。

我和我列祖向四圍各地萬族之民所行的、你們不知道麼？各地列國的神何嘗真能援救他們本地脫離我的手呢？我列祖所毁滅歸神的那些國、其諸神中有哪一位能援救他自己的人民脫離我的手呢？難道你們的神能援救你們脫離我的手麼？所以你們不要讓希西家這樣欺哄誘惑你們，你們也不要信他；因為任何邦任何國的任何神都不能援救他自己的人民脫離我的手、和我列祖的手；何況你們的神、豈不是更不能援救你們脫離我的手麼？」』西拿基立的臣僕還說了別的話來侮辱永恆主上帝、和上帝的僕人希西家。西拿基立還寫了文書來辱罵永恆主以色列的上帝，譏誚他，說：『各地列國的神怎樣未曾援救他們的人民脫離我的手，希西家的神也怎樣不能援救他的人民脫離我的手呀。』亞述王的臣僕用猶大語向城牆上的耶路撒冷人民大聲喊叫，要使他們懼怕驚惶，以便攻取那城。他們論到耶路撒冷的上帝，就如同論到地上別族之民的神、人手所造的神一樣。

我們有禍了；誰能拯救我們脫離這些大有威力的神的手呢？從前在曠野用各樣疫災擊打埃及人的就是這些神哪。

我耶和華，這是我的名；我的榮耀、我不給予別的神，我受的稱讚、我不給雕刻的像。

我列祖所毁滅的國：歌散、哈蘭、利色、和在提拉撒的伊甸人：這些國的神何曾援救過它呢？

我向山舉目。我的助力從哪裏來呢？我的助力是從那造天地的永恆主而來的。

因為他們雖然認識上帝，卻不看他為上帝而榮耀他，也不感謝他，反倒在思想上成為虛妄，他們蒙昧的心就昏暗了。他們自稱為有智慧，反而成了愚拙，用那能敗壞的人類、飛鳥、走獸、昆蟲之像的樣式、去代換那不能朽壞的上帝之榮耀。
