There was no way God would let him off the hook for this one. He has offended the Lord God in a way he will soon regret. The response of the leaders in Hezekiah s government and the citizens of Jerusalem. They didn t try to argue with Rabshakeh. Often, it is useless if not dangerous to try and match wits with this demonic logic.
Silence is our best reply to the allegations and taunts of our foes.
Hand over thy cause to God. It is useless to argue, even in many cases to give explanations. Be still, and commit thy cause to God. King Hezekiah was wise enough to make this command, and his officials and the people were wise enough to obey him. It didn t just roll of their back as if it were nothing.
