Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Para que puedan comer ... - " Mi maestro me ha enviado", parece decir el Rab-shakeh, "a estos hombres, a quienes veo estacionados en el muro para defender el lugar y soportar las últimas extremidades de un asedio prolongado: estos hombres en quienes caerán sus peores males y que, por lo tanto, tienen el mayor interés en evitarlo mediante una rendición oportuna ". Expresa los males con una frase fuerte y grosera, adecuada para los soldados groseros, y bien calculada para despertar sus sentimientos. El autor de Crónicas ha suavizado las palabras 2 Crónicas 32:11.
