2 KINGS 19:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.”
By the way that he came, by the same he shall return; he shall not come into this city, says the LORD — the oracle repeats the core promise: Sennacherib will be forced to return by the same route he came. The repetition of 'he shall not come into this city' emphasizes the absolute nature of the promise. The formula 'says the LORD' (נְאֻם־יְהוָה, *ne'um YHWH*) repeats divine guarantee of the promise.
