2 Kings 18:32
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
The verse belongs to the history of Judah's remaining kingdom after the ten tribes had been swept away. It belongs to the reign of Hezekiah, which was a good reign marked by remarkable experiences, with Hezekiah standing as one of Judah's two decisive reformers. It is part of the account of Sennacherib's invasion of Palestine and siege of Jerusalem, an account also confirmed by Sennacherib's cylinder.
Sennacherib sent the demand for Hezekiah's submission from Lachish, where he had placed himself between Hezekiah's forces and the king of Egypt's forces after learning of the appeal to Egypt for alliance against Assyria. The demand was brought to Jerusalem by Rab-shakeh with Rabsaris and Tartan, requiring Hezekiah to submit and remain in his own land until Sennacherib was ready to come and carry all away captive. Hezekiah refused to hear him, forbade the people to answer him, and sent a company to Isaiah to ask whether the Lord would hear the words of Rab-shakeh.
In the verse the Assyrian spokesman tries to persuade and frighten the people of Jerusalem into surrender by promising that submission and exile will bring them safety and prosperity in another land, and urges them not to trust Hezekiah's promise that the Lord will deliver them, seeking to intimidate them and turn them against Hezekiah. The threat treats the Lord as powerless like the handmade gods of the nations. The verse sets this threat against Hezekiah's trust in God, and that trust is vindicated in the following account when God miraculously saves Jerusalem from Sennacherib.
