Verse 31 is found in chapter 18 of 2 Kings. Judah’s officials ask the Rabshakeh to speak in Aramaic so the people will not understand his speech, but he insists on speaking in Hebrew. His purpose is precisely to influence the population. The people remain silent because Hezekiah had ordered them not to answer. The chapter ends with the messengers tearing their clothes and bringing the report to the king. The crisis reaches the heart of Jerusalem. Hezekiah’s response and the prophetic intervention in the next chapter will show that the confrontation will not be resolved solely through political negotiation.
