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 22:20

22:20 ‘Therefore I will allow you to die and be buried in peace. ³  You will not have to witness ⁴  all the disaster I will bring on this place.’”’” Then they reported back to the king.

[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.

[22:20]  ³ tn Heb “Therefore, look, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your tomb in peace.”

[22:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “your eyes will not see.”
