So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
The posts carried the letters from the king and his leaders everywhere in Israel and Judah. They said, "Children of Israel, go back to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He will save those of you who escaped from the kings of Assyria."
