Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, was the palace administrator, a position of significant authority and responsibility. Shebnah, initially the royal secretary, is later demoted, indicating possible political shifts or divine disfavor. Joah, the recorder, was responsible for chronicling events, highlighting the importance of this encounter. The Rabshakeh was an Assyrian military officer, likely a high-ranking official, sent by King Sennacherib to negotiate or intimidate. This meeting underscores the political tension and the threat Judah faced from the powerful Assyrian empire. “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it.
Aramaic was the diplomatic and trade language of the Near East, understood by educated officials but not by the common people. The request to use Aramaic indicates the officials' desire to keep the conversation private, avoiding panic among the people. This reflects the broader cultural and linguistic landscape of the region, where Aramaic served as a lingua franca. The use of Aramaic also highlights the officials' education and their attempt to manage the situation diplomatically. Do not speak with us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
Hebrew was the language of the people of Judah, and speaking in Hebrew would make the conversation accessible to the common citizens. The officials' request to avoid Hebrew suggests their concern about maintaining morale and preventing fear or rebellion among the populace. The people on the wall likely included soldiers and citizens who would be directly affected by the Assyrian threat. This phrase illustrates the tension between transparency and control in leadership, as well as the psychological warfare employed by the Assyrians to undermine confidence in Hezekiah's leadership. Persons / Places / Events 1. Eliakim son of HilkiahA high-ranking official in King Hezekiah's court, serving as the palace administrator. He played a significant role in the negotiations with the Assyrian envoy. 2. ShebnaAnother official in Hezekiah's court, likely serving as the royal secretary or scribe. He was involved in the diplomatic discussions with the Assyrians. 3. JoahThe son of Asaph, serving as the recorder or chronicler in Hezekiah's administration. He was present during the negotiations with the Assyrian envoy. 4. RabshakehA high-ranking Assyrian military officer and spokesman for King Sennacherib, sent to deliver a message to King Hezekiah and his people. 5. The Wall of JerusalemThe setting for this encounter, where the Assyrian envoy addressed the people of Jerusalem, creating a tense and fearful atmosphere. Teaching Points The Power of Language and CommunicationLanguage can be a tool for unity or division. Eliakim and his colleagues requested the use of Aramaic to prevent panic among the people, showing the strategic use of language in leadership. Wisdom in LeadershipThe officials' request to speak in Aramaic demonstrates discernment and wisdom in protecting the morale of the people. Leaders today can learn the importance of wise communication in times of crisis. Faith in the Face of IntimidationDespite the intimidating presence of the Assyrian army, Hezekiah's officials sought to manage the situation with faith and prudence. Believers are encouraged to trust God and act wisely when facing threats. The Role of IntercessorsEliakim, Shebna, and Joah acted as intermediaries between the Assyrian envoy and the people of Jerusalem. This highlights the importance of intercessors who stand in the gap during challenging times. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from 2 Kings 18
2 Kings 18:17 – Why would Rabshakeh speak in Hebrew if he didn’t want Judah’s people to hear his threats?
How do we square the accounts of 2 Chronicles 26 with 2 Kings 15, given the differing details about Uzziah (also called Azariah) and his reign?
2 Kings 18:25 - Is the claim that the Assyrian king was acting by God's command consistent with other biblical accounts of divine judgment?
2 Kings 18:5-6 - How can we verify Hezekiah's unprecedented devotion when other kings are also praised elsewhere?(26) Speak, I pray thee . . . in the Syrian language.--HezeMah's ministers naturally dread the effect of Rab-shakeh's arguments and assertions upon the garrison of the city. The people, many of whom had always been accustomed to worship at the high places, might very well doubt whether there were not some truth in the allegation that Jehovah was incensed at their removal. In the Syrian language.--In Aramaic; which was at that time the language of diplomacy and commerce in the countries of Western Asia, as is proved by the bilingual contract-tablets (in Aramaic and Assyrian) discovered at Nineveh. In the Jews' language.--In Jewish; an expression only found inNehemiah 13:24 besides the present narrative. The word "Jew" (Yeh-di), from which it is derived, itself occurs only in the later Biblical books; but contemporary Assyrian usage (mat Ya-u-di orYa-u-du, "Judah;"Ya-u-da-a-a, "the Jews") is in favour of the supposition that the people of the Southern kingdom were even then calledYeh-dim, and their language "Jewish" (Yeh-dith). The spoken dialect probably differed considerably from other varieties of Hebrew, though not enough to make it unintelligible to other Hebrew-speaking peoples, such as the northern Israelites and the Moabites and Edomites. Verse 26. - Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; literally, in the Aramaic language. Hebrew, Aramaic, and Assyrian were three cognate languages, closely allied, and very similar both in their grammatical forms and in their vocabularies, but still sufficiently different to be distinct languages, which were only intelligible to those who had learnt them. Rabshakeh had addressed the Jewish officials in Hebrew, probably as the language which they would best understand, if it were not even the only one that they would understand; not with the express "object of influencing the common people," as Bahr supposes. But the Jewish officials feared that the words uttered were influencing them. They proposed, therefore, that the further negotiations should be conducted in Aramaic, a tongue which they understood, and one which they supposed that Rabshakeh, as he knew Hebrew, would also know. Aramaic was spoken in most of the tract that lay between Assyria and Palestine, in Syria and Damascus certainly, in Upper Mesopotamia, along the line of the Euphrates, and perhaps as far as the Khabour river. For we understand it. It is not likely that the Jews of this time generally understood Aramaic; but high officials of the court, who might have to deal with embassies and negotiate treaties, found it necessary to understand it, just as such persons in our own country have to know French. And talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. Besides the sentinels and other soldiers, there would probably be many idlers upon the wall, attracted by the unwonted spectacle of an ambassadorial cortege, and anxious to pick up intelligence. The loud voices of Orientals would be heard to a considerable distance.
