2 Then the king of Assyria sent the1 Rabshakeh with a great army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And he stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

4 aThen the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What confidence is this in which you trust?  
5 I say you speak of having plans and power for war; but they are1 mere words. Now in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

Isaiah 36:3

Eliakim—successor to Shebna, who had been "over the household," that is, chief minister of the king; in Isaiah 22:15-20, this was foretold.

scribe—secretary, recorder—literally, "one who reminds"; a remembrancer to keep the king informed on important facts, and to act as historiographer. In II Kings 18:18, the additional fact is given that the Assyrian envoys "called to the king," in consequence of which Eliakim, etc., "came out to them."
