At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 18 of 2 Kings. The account goes back to explain the fall of Samaria while Hezekiah also faces Assyrian expansion. Sennacherib’s army comes against Judah’s fortified cities, and Hezekiah initially attempts to purchase withdrawal through tribute. To gather the money, he uses treasures from the temple and palace. The strategy may appear temporarily reasonable from a political perspective, but the Assyrian threat continues. The narrative thus prepares a greater confrontation: the kingdom that had reformed its worship will still have to decide whether it ultimately trusts God before an imperial power.
