Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Ahora pues, haz un trato con mi señor, el rey de Asiria. Te daré dos mil caballos si puedes encontrar suficientes jinetes para montarlos.
El rey asirio desafía burlonamente a Judá ofreciendo caballos que sabe que no pueden usar por falta de jinetes.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is set during the Assyrian invasion of Judah in 701 BC, under King Sennacherib, when Assyrian forces were besieging Jerusalem and pressuring King Hezekiah to surrender. The speaker, an Assyrian official known as the Rabshakeh, is taunting the Judeans by offering 2,000 horses as a challenge, implying they lack the riders and military strength to use them effectively. This event reflects the broader historical conflict between the powerful Assyrian Empire and the smaller kingdom of Judah, as documented in both biblical accounts and Assyrian records.
