Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex

So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.” And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver (note: 300 talents is approximately 11.3 tons or 10.3 metric tons of silver.) and thirty talents of gold (note: 30 talents is approximately 1.13 tons or 1.03 metric tons of gold.).
וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח חִזְקִיָּ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־ יְהוּדָ֣ה אֶל־ מֶֽלֶךְ־ אַשּׁוּר֩׀ לָכִ֨ישָׁה׀ לֵאמֹ֤ר׀ חָטָ֙אתִי֙ שׁ֣וּב מֵֽעָלַ֔י אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־ תִּתֵּ֥ן עָלַ֖י אֶשָּׂ֑א וַיָּ֨שֶׂם מֶֽלֶךְ־ אַשּׁ֜וּר עַל־ חִזְקִיָּ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־ יְהוּדָ֗ה שְׁלֹ֤שׁ מֵאוֹת֙ כִּכַּר־ כֶּ֔סֶף וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֖ים כִּכַּ֥ר זָהָֽב׃
