Divrey Hayamim Bais 32:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:18

Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the
people of Jerusalem that were on the wall
The messengers of Sennacherib, particularly Rabshakeh the chief speaker; though they were desired to speak in the Syrian language, ( Isaiah 36:11 Isaiah 36:13 ) ,

but this they did to affright them, and to trouble them, that they
might take the city;
to throw them into terror and confusion, that they might prevail upon them to deliver up the city to them.

17 He wrote also sefarim to blaspheme Hashem Elohei Yisroel, and to speak against Him, saying, As the elohei goyei ha’aratzot have not saved their people out of mine yad, so shall not the Elohei Chizkiyahu save his people out of mine yad.

18 Then they cried with a kol gadol in the language of the Yehudim unto the Am Yerushalayim that were on the chomah, to frighten them, and to terrorize them, that they might capture the Ir.

19 And they spoke against the Elohei Yerushalayim, as against the g-ds of the peoples of the land, which were the work of the hands of ha’adam.
