When they had called to the king, there came out to them Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was over the household, and Shevna the scribe, and Yo'ach the son of Asaf the recorder.
Then came Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was over the household, and Shevna the scribe, and Yo'ach the son of Asaf the recorder, to Chizkiyahu with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Ravshakeh.
Then Elyakim, Shevna and Yo'ach said to Ravshakeh, *Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and don't speak to us in the Jews' language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.*
Then Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was over the household, and Shevna the scribe, and Yo'ach, the son of Asaf, the recorder, came to Chizkiyahu with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Ravshakeh.
He sent Elyakim, who was over the household, and Shevna the scribe, and the elders of the Kohanim, covered with sackcloth, to Yeshaiyahu the prophet, the son of Amotz.
