No deis ouvidos a Ezequias; porque assim diz o rei da Assria: Fazei as pazes comigo e vinde para mim; e comei, cada um da sua prpria vide e da sua prpria figueira, e bebei, cada um da gua da sua prpria cisterna.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
:-
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Make an agreement ... - Rather, “Make peace with me.” The word, which primarily means “blessing,” and secondarily “a gift,” has also the meaning, though more rarely, of “peace.” Probably it acquired this meaning from the fact that a peace was commonly purchased by presents.
eat ... drink - A picture of a time of quiet and prosperity, a time when each man might enjoy the fruits of his land, without any fear of the spoiler’s violence. The words are in contrast with the latter part of 2 Kings 18:27.
Cistern - Rather, “well” Deuteronomy 6:11. Each cultivator in Palestine has a “well” dug in some part of his ground, from which he draws water for his own use. “Cisterns,” or reservoirs for rain-water, are comparatively rare.
