2 Kings 19:5-7
New English Translation
5 When King Hezekiah’s servants came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master this: ‘This is what the Lord has said: “Don’t be afraid because of the things you have heard, because the Assyrian king’s officers have insulted me. 7 Look, I will take control of his mind;[a] he will receive[b] a report and return to his own land. I will cut him down[c] with a sword in his own land.”’”

- 2 Kings 19:7 tn Heb “I will put in him a spirit.” The precise sense of רוּחַ (ruakh), “spirit,” is uncertain in this context. It may refer to a spiritual being who will take control of his mind (see 1 Kgs 22:19), or it could refer to a disposition of concern and fear. In either case the Lord’s sovereignty over the king is apparent.
- 2 Kings 19:7 tn Heb “hear.”
- 2 Kings 19:7 tn Heb “cause him to fall,” that is, “kill him.”

When he hears a certain report,(C) I will make him want to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.(D)’”
