	Isaiah - L14 - Chs. 36,37
		The Rabshakeh has used his speech to systematically undermine the people's faith in Jehovah, honor towards their king, and love of their country.
		If the Rabshakeh is able to destroy the people's faith in their God, their king, and themselves the siege of Jerusalem will be short lived.
		He says: their god is weak, his power on the other hand is strong, he has destroyed every nation in his path (including but not limited to the six mentioned in the letter), and Judah is bound to be taken.

	Isaiah 36:1-22
		Hence we also infer that Rabshakeh was not sent for the purpose of offering any conditions of peace, but rather to obtain an unconditional surrender, and to strike the people with alarm; for Sennacherib had sent him for this purpose with a powerful army.
		Rabshakeh's assertion, that they cannot be delivered by the hand of Hezekiah, is indeed true, unless God assist; and Hezekiah did not lay claim to this or rob God of the honor due to him, but, on the contrary, testified that his own safety and that of the people were in the hand of God.
		If this be true, Rabshakeh mentions the ancient names of cities, from which many nations had formerly come, and which afterwards lost not only their celebrity, but likewise their distinctive names, and aims at producing in them greater alarm, by reminding them of so great revolutions.

		In addition Rabshakeh presents what he regards as the other element in the alternative, and this is his third argument.
		But when Rabshakeh sees their fears he redoubles his efforts and makes another speech which is much cruder but which is a good specimen of propaganda.
		Do they not sum up the whole thinking of modern man? And when Rabshakeh shows the besieged the futility of their faith and the uselessness of their prayers, we have precisely the same situation as that which obtains today when the church is besieged by the world.

		At the time of the Rabshakeh's arrival he stood at the conduit of the upper pool which was in the highway of the fuller's field.
		In reply to the committee the Rabshakeh said that he had come to bring a message, not to Hezekiah and the officials of the kingdom of Judah, but rather to the people of the city, upon whom the terrible weight of the struggle would fall (vs. 12).
		After the Rabshakeh had delivered his threatening message of defiance and blasphemy, he returned to his master, the king of Assyria, to Libnah because Sennacherib had in the meantime raised the siege of Lachish and had gone to Libnah.

	Faith and Folly
		Rabshakeh seems to be puzzled by the resistance of the Jews and their seeming confidence that he will fail in his efforts to take the city, as the next verses point out.
		The Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah [a city of Israel]; for he had heard that the king had left Lachish.
		Recall that when Rabshakeh spoke to the deputation from Jerusalem he stood at an extremely significant and historic spot before the wall of the city "the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Fuller's Field" the exact spot where Isaiah had given the sign of the virgin's son.

		And the chief of the butlers turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.

	Rabshakeh (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		Rabshakeh sent through them a message to the king in which he represented himself as the spokesman for the king of Assyria.
		The people, however, true to the command of Hezekiah (2 Kings 18:36), "held their peace, and answered him not a word." Afterward Rabshakeh returned and "found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah".
		From this description it is inferred that Rabshakeh was a man of considerable literary attainment, being able, in all probability, to speak in three languages.

		The Rabshakeh either didn’t know that the Lord had commanded that sacrifice only be made in one place, or he was playing upon the people’s sympathies for their idolatrous worship which Hezekiah had taken away from them, or both.
		Hezekiah’s advisors try to get the Rabshakeh to speak only to them in Aramaic so that the words that he was speaking which were designed to undermine their faith and confidence in the Lord and in their king would not affect the common people along the wall.
		Hezekiah’s officials were gravely concerned with the threats of Rabshakeh as well as his blasphemy of the Lord, and they tore their clothes because of this and came to Hezekiah with Rabshakeh’s words.

		And, first, he compares the Egyptians to “a staff of reed” on account of their weakness; secondly, for the sake of amplification he calls them “a broken staff;” thirdly, he says that it is so far from supporting that it pierces the hands that lean upon it.
		They would have wished that Rabshakeh should not speak to them in the Jewish language, because they were desirous to enter into any moderate terms of peace.
		These ambassadors therefore gain nothing from Rabshakeh; when he is entreated, he grows worse, and (as is usually the case with haughty men) becomes moro insolent.

	John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
		In this chapter we have an account of the king Assyria's invasion of Judea, and of the railing speech of Rabshakeh his general, to discourage the ministers and subjects of the king of Judah.
		Rabshakeh was well acquainted with the land of Judea; and this seems to confirm the conjecture of the Jews, that he was one of their people, since he could speak their language, and describe their land so well; all this he said to sooth and persuade them to a voluntary surrender.
		If Rabshakeh was an apostate Jew, he must have known better; but the malice of such is usually the greatest.

		There is the famous Rabshakeh incident, when the Assyrian officer stands in front of the gates of Jerusalem and delivers a harsh speech that intends to scare the inhabitants of Jerusalem and its king that they may surrender to the Assyrians.
		Rabshakeh sends a letter to Hezekiah repeating many of the threats against Judah already delivered in his speech in front of Jerusalem.
		The Rabshakeh incident is clearly superfluous as Hezekiah had already surrendered and paid his tribute to the king of Assyria, before Rabshakeh moved to Jerusalem in order to deliver his speech.
