"Por mano de tus mensajeros has injuriado al Señor, y has dicho: ‘Con mis numerosos carros subí a las cumbres de los montes, a las partes más remotas del Líbano; corté sus altos cedros y sus mejores cipreses, y entré en su morada más lejana, en su más frondoso bosque.
La Biblia Reina-Valera Gomez
Por mano de tus mensajeros has proferido injuria contra el Señor, y has dicho: Con la multitud de mis carros he subido a las cumbres de los montes, a las cuestas del Líbano; y cortaré sus altos cedros, sus abetos más escogidos; y me alojaré en la morada más lejana, en el monte Carmelo.
Sagradas Escrituras (1569)
Por mano de tus mensajeros has proferido injuria contra el Señor, y has dicho: Con la multitud de mis carros he subido a las cumbres de los montes; a las cuestas del Líbano, y cortaré sus altos cedros, sus hayas escogidas; y entraré a la morada de su término, al monte de su Carmel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And hast said - Isaiah clothes in words the thoughts of Sennacherib’s heart - thoughts of the most extreme self-confidence. Compare Isaiah 10:7-14, where, probably at an earlier date, the same overweening pride is ascribed to this king.

With the multitude of my chariots - There are two readings here, which give, however, nearly the same sense. The more difficult and more poetical of the two is to be preferred. Literally, translated it runs - “With chariots upon chariots am I come up, etc.â€

To the sides of Lebanon - , “Lebanon,†with its “cedars†and its “fir-trees,†is to be understood here both literally and figuratively. Literally, the hewing of timber in Lebanon was an ordinary feature of an Assyrian expedition into Syria. Figuratively, the mountain represents all the more inaccessible parts of Palestine, and the destruction of its firs and cedars denotes the complete devastation of the entire country from one end to the other.

The lodgings of his borders - literally, “the lodge of its (Lebanon’s) end;†either an actual habitation situated on the highest point of the mountain-range, or a poetical periphrasis for the highest point itself.

The forest of his Carmel - Or, “the forest of its garden†- i. e., “its forest which is like a garden,†etc.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 19:23. The tall cedar trees - the choice fir trees — Probably meaning the princes and nobles of the country.

The forest of his Carmel. — Better in the margin: the forest and his fruitful field.
