ExplanationCommentary
Verse 23. Over. Josephus insinuates that it is a challenge to fight, and that Rabsaces was so confident of victory, that he made this contemptuous proposal, ( Bible.) knowing that the subjects of Ezechias were not good horsemen, ( Calmet.) or that they were comparatively ( Bible.) so few in number. Menochius.—Hebrew “agree, or give pledges to my master.”
