But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
2 Kings 18:27 — KJV
To the men which sit. The words were intended for the people of Jerusalem, not merely for the king. The Rabshakeh was trying to strike terror into the hearts of the people and to bring such pressure of popular sentiment against Hezekiah, to force him to give up his policy of resistance.
That they may eat. By these words the Rabshakeh threatened the Jews with the dire consequences of resistance. If the siege continued, the people would be reduced to such straits that they would be forced to appease their hunger and thirst with the vilest and most unnatural food (see 2 Kings 6:26-29; cf. 2 Chron. 32:11).
