Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN mengenai raja Asyur: Ia tidak akan masuk ke kota ini dan tidak akan menembakkan panah ke sana; juga ia tidak akan mendatanginya dengan perisai dan tidak akan menimbun tanah menjadi tembok untuk mengepungnya.
Maka sebab itu demikianlah firman Tuhan akan hal raja benua Asyur itu: Sekali-kali tiada ia akan masuk ke dalam negeri ini, atau memanahkan sebilah anak panah ke dalamnya, dan tiada ia akan menghampiri dia dengan perisai atau mendirikan kubu kelilingnya.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Nor come before it with shield - The “shields” of the Assyrians are very conspicuous in the sculptures, and were of great importance in a siege, since the assailing archers were in most instances defended, as they shot their weapons, by a comrade, who held before himself and his friend a shield of an enormous size. It was made of a framework of wood, filled in with wattling, and perhaps lined with skin; it was rested upon the ground, and it generally curved backward toward the top; ordinarily it somewhat exceeded the height of a man. From the safe covert afforded by these large defenses the archers were able to take deliberate aim, and deliver their volleys with effect.
Nor cast a bank against it - “Mounds” or “banks” were among the most common of the means used by the Assyrians against a besieged town. They were thrown up against the walls, and consisted of loose earth, trees, brushwood, stones, and rubbish. Sometimes the surface of the mound was regularly paved with several layers of stone or brick, which formed a solid road or causeway capable of bearing a great weight. The intention was not so much to bring the mounds to a level with the top of the walls, as to carry them to such a height as should enable the battering-ram to work effectively. Walls were made very solid toward their base, for the purpose of resisting the ram; halfway up their structure was comparatively weak and slight. The engines of the assailants, rams and catapults, where therefore far more serviceable if they could attack the upper and weaker portion of the defenses; and it was to enable them to reach these portions that the “mounds” were raised.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 32. He shall not, c. — Here follow the fullest proofs that Jerusalem shall not be taken by the Assyrians.
1. He shall not come into this city
2. He shall not be able to get so near as to shoot an arrow into it;
3. He shall not be able to bring an army before it,
4. Nor shall he be able to raise any redoubt or mound against it;
5. No; not even an Assyrian shield shall be seen in the country; not even a foraging party shall come near the city.
