Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
¡No escuchen a Ezequías! Esto dice el rey de Asiria: Hagan un trato conmigo dándome un regalo, y salgan a mí. Entonces cada uno de ustedes podrá comer de su propia vid y de su higuera, y beber agua de su propio pozo.
El rey de Asiria promete prosperidad individual a cambio de rendirse y no seguir a Ezequías.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the Assyrian Empire under King Sennacherib was invading Judah and besieging Jerusalem after King Hezekiah had rebelled against them. The Assyrians sent messengers to demoralize the people and persuade them to surrender by promising peace and prosperity, using familiar images of abundance like eating from one's own vine and fig tree. This tactic was a common strategy in ancient warfare to exploit cultural ideals of security and self-sufficiency.
