ויאמר אליהם רבשקה העל אדניך ואליך שלחני אדני לדבר את הדברים האלה הלא על האנשים הישבים על החמה לאכל את חריהם (צואתם) ולשתות את שניהם (מימי רגליהם) עמכם
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶ֜ם רַב־שָׁקֵ֗ה הַעַ֨ל אֲדֹנֶ֤יךָ וְאֵלֶ֨יךָ֙ שְׁלָחַ֣נִי אֲדֹנִ֔י לְדַבֵּ֖ר אֶת־הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה הֲלֹ֣א עַל־הָאֲנָשִׁ֗ים הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים֙ עַל־הַ֣חֹמָ֔ה לֶאֱכֹ֣ל אֶת־*חֲרֵיהֶם **צוֹאָתָ֗ם וְלִשְׁתֹּ֛ות אֶת־*שֵׁינֵיהֶם **מֵֽימֵי **רַגְלֵיהֶ֖ם עִמָּכֶֽם ׃
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם רַב־שָׁקֵה הַעַל אֲדֹנֶיךָ וְאֵלֶיךָ שְׁלָחַנִי אֲדֹנִי לְדַבֵּר אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה הֲלֹא עַל־הָאֲנָשִׁים הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים עַל־הַחֹמָה לֶאֱכֹל אֶת צוֹאָתָםחֲרֵיהֶם| וְלִשְׁתּוֹת אֶת־ מֵֽימֵי שֵׁינֵיהֶם| (רַגְלֵיהֶם ק) עִמָּכֶֽם ׃

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That they may eat ... - “My master hath sent me,” the Rab-shakeh seems to say, “to these men, whom I see stationed on the wall to defend the place and bear the last extremities of a prolonged siege - these men on whom its worst evils will fall, and who have therefore the greatest interest in avoiding it by a timely surrender.” He expresses the evils by a strong coarse phrase, suited to the rude soldiery, and well calculated to rouse their feelings. The author of Chronicles has softened down the words 2 Chronicles 32:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 27. That they may eat their own dung — That they may be duly apprised, if they hold on Hezekiah's side, Jerusalem shall be most straitly besieged, and they be reduced to such a state of famine as to be obliged to eat their own excrements.
