2 Kings 19:31-33
New English Translation
2 Kings 19:31-33
New English Translation
31 “‘For a remnant will leave Jerusalem;
survivors will come out of Mount Zion.
The zeal of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies[a] will accomplish this.
32 So this is what the Lord has said about the king of Assyria:
“He will not enter this city,
nor will he shoot an arrow here.[b]
He will not attack it with his shield-carrying warriors,[c]
nor will he build siege works against it.
33 He will go back the way he came.
He will not enter this city,” says the Lord.
Footnotes
- 2 Kings 19:31 tn Traditionally “the Lord of hosts.” In this context the Lord’s “zeal” refers to his intense devotion to and love for his people which prompts him to protect and restore them. The Qere, along with many medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions, has “the zeal of the Lord of hosts” rather than “the zeal of the Lord” (Kethib). The translation follows the Qere here.
- 2 Kings 19:32 tn Heb “there.”
- 2 Kings 19:32 tn Heb “[with] a shield.” By metonymy the “shield” stands for the soldier who carries it.
