耶路撒冷王亞多尼‧洗德派人去見希伯崙王何咸、耶末王毗蘭、拉吉王雅非亞和伊磯倫王底璧，說：

羅波安住在耶路撒冷，在猶大為防禦修築城鎮，他修築伯利恆、以坦、提哥亞、伯‧夙、梭哥、亞杜蘭、迦特、瑪利沙、西弗、亞多萊音、拉吉、亞西加、瑣拉、亞雅崙、希伯崙。這都是猶大和便雅憫的堅固城。

希西家王十四年，亞述王西拿基立上來攻擊猶大的一切堅固的城，將城攻取。猶大王希西家派人到拉吉，亞述王那裏，說：「我錯了，求你撤退離開我；凡你罰我的，我必承當。」於是亞述王罰猶大王希西家三百他連得銀子，三十他連得金子。

耶末、亞杜蘭、梭哥、亞西加、

你們要在猶大傳揚，在耶路撒冷宣告，說：「當在國中吹角，高聲呼叫說：『你們當聚集！我們好進入堅固城！』

巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領他的全軍和地上他管轄的各國各邦，攻打耶路撒冷和耶路撒冷所有的城鎮。那時，耶和華的話臨到耶利米，說：

耶和華使他們在以色列人面前潰亂。約書亞在基遍大大擊殺他們，在伯‧和崙的上坡路上追趕他們，擊殺他們，直到亞西加和瑪基大。他們在以色列人面前逃跑。正在伯‧和崙下坡的時候，耶和華從天上降下大冰雹在他們身上，直降到亞西加，打死他們。被冰雹打死的，比以色列人用刀殺死的還多。

耶末王一人，拉吉王一人，

拉吉、波斯加、伊磯倫、

又在猶大山區建造城鎮，在樹林中建築營寨和瞭望樓。

拉吉的居民哪，要用快馬套車；錫安的罪由你而起，以色列的罪過在你那裏顯出。

他們必在你的各城圍困你，直到你在全地所倚靠、高大堅固的城牆都倒塌。他們必在耶和華－你神所賜給你全地的各城圍困你。

那時，猶大城鎮的人和耶路撒冷的居民要哀求他們燒香所供奉的神明；只是遭難的時候，這些神明一點也不能拯救他們。

我們為何靜坐不動呢？我們當聚集，進入堅固城，在那裏靜默不言；因為耶和華－我們的神使我們靜默不言，又將苦水給我們喝，都因我們得罪了耶和華。

亞述將軍聽見亞述王已拔營離開拉吉，就啟程返回，正遇見亞述王去攻打立拿。
