2 Kings 19:23
New English Translation
23 Through your messengers you taunted the Sovereign Master,[a]
‘With my many chariots[b]
I climbed up the high mountains,
the slopes of Lebanon.
I cut down its tall cedars
and its best evergreens.
I invaded its most remote regions,[c]
its thickest woods.

- 2 Kings 19:23 tc The consonantal text (Kethib) has בְּרֶכֶב (berekhev), but this must be dittographic (note the following רִכְבִּי [rikhbi], “my chariots”). The marginal reading (Qere) בְּרֹב (berov), “with many,” is supported by many Hebrew mss and ancient versions, as well as the parallel passage in Isa 37:24.

New International Version
23 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,(A)
“With my many chariots(B)
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down(C) its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest parts,
the finest of its forests.
