I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
He cavado pozos y bebido agua de tierras extranjeras, y con mis ejércitos he secado todos los ríos de las ciudades que he atacado.
El rey asirio se jacta de sus conquistas militares y su dominio sobre las aguas de las tierras conquistadas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of 2 Kings 19, this verse is part of a boastful message from the Assyrian king Sennacherib to King Hezekiah of Judah during the Assyrian invasion of Jerusalem around 701 BC. Sennacherib is arrogantly claiming his military prowess, using metaphors of digging wells and drying up rivers to symbolize his ability to conquer and dominate enemy territories. This sets the stage for God's deliverance, as Hezekiah turns to prayer and receives assurance from the prophet Isaiah that the Assyrians will be defeated.
