Then Hezekiah, king of Judah, sent messengers to the king of Assyrians into Lachish, and said, I have sinned; go away from me, and I shall bear all things, that thou shalt put to me. Therefore the king of Assyrians putted on Hezekiah, king of Judah, a fine of three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.This verse in the real world
