Read 2 kings 18.28-35. The Rabshakeh's second speech is is Hebrew (the language of Judah, v. 28), is directed to the common defenders of the city, and is designed to effect a mutiny. he calls on them to surrender, promising prosperity first in their homeland (v. 31) and then in exile (v.32). the part of the speech regarded as blasphemy by the biblical writers is vv. 33-35, where the Rabshakeh compare the Lord to the gods of other nations, none of whom has been able to save their people from Assyrian assault.
