2 Kings 18:14

Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible

Tunc misit Ezechias rex Juda nuntios ad regem Assyriorum in Lachis, dicens : Peccavi : recede a me, et omne quod imposueris mihi, feram. Indixit itaque rex Assyriorum Ezechiæ regi Judæ trecenta talenta argenti, et triginta talenta auri.
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.).
