shield in 2 Kings 19
SHEELD
This thing shows up in 2 Kings 19:32: ““Therefore Yahweh says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there. He will not come before…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Kings 19:32
““Therefore Yahweh says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there. He will not come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.”
