2 Kings 18:29 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 18:29

27 But the Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat and drink their own waste with you?”

28 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in¹ Hebrew, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!

29 Thus says the king: ^a‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you from his hand;

30 nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, “The Lord will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” ’

31 Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: ‘Make peace with me¹ by a present and come out to me; and every one of you eat from his own ^avine and every one from his own fig tree, and every one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;

32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, ^aa land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive groves and honey, that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, lest he persuade you, saying, “The Lord will deliver us.”
