2 Kings 19:32

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.

2 Kings 20:6

20:6 I will add fifteen years to your life and rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will shield this city for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.”’” ³ 

[19:32]  ¹ tn Heb “there.”

[19:32]  ² tn Heb “[with] a shield.” By metonymy the “shield” stands for the soldier who carries it.

[20:6]  ³ tn Heb “for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.”
