2 KINGS 19:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So Rab–shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.”
The Rab-shakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah; for he had heard that the king had left Lachish — the verse repeats 19:7, emphasizing the temporal separation between the Rab-shakeh's speech in Jerusalem and the Rab-shakeh's return to the king. During this interval, Sennacherib has moved from Lachish to Libnah. This movement indicates that while the Rab-shakeh was conducting psychological warfare in Jerusalem, Sennacherib was continuing systematic conquest of Judean fortified cities.
