But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Pero el pueblo permaneció en silencio y no le respondió ni una palabra, porque el rey les había ordenado: 'No le respondan.'
El pueblo obedeció la orden del rey de no responder a las provocaciones del enemigo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is set during the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem in the 8th century BC, when King Hezekiah of Judah was facing threats from the powerful Assyrian empire under Sennacherib. Hezekiah, a faithful king who implemented religious reforms, instructed his people not to respond to the taunts of the Assyrian official Rabshakeh, who was trying to undermine their trust in God. By remaining silent, the people demonstrated obedience and reliance on divine intervention rather than engaging in verbal conflict.
