19:32 So this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria:
“He will not enter this city,
nor will he shoot an arrow here. 1
He will not attack it with his shield-carrying warriors, 2
nor will he build siege works against it.
19:33 He will go back the way he came.
He will not enter this city,” says the Lord.
19:34 I will shield this city and rescue it for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.’” 3
1 tn Heb “there.”
2 tn Heb “[with] a shield.” By metonymy the “shield” stands for the soldier who carries it.
3 tn Heb “for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.”
