32:9 Afterward King Sennacherib of Assyria, while attacking Lachish with all his military might, sent his messengers 3 to Jerusalem. The message was for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of 4 Judah who were in Jerusalem. It read:
1 tn Heb “and he built up Ramah so as to not permit going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.”
2 tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jotham, and his battles and his ways, look, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.”
3 tn Heb “servants.”
4 tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
