2 Chronicles 32:10 - The Pulpit Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:10 - Exposition

In the siege . This Authorized Version rendering is manifestly incorrect, though, if we simply omit the article, and tender in siege, we shall probably have Sennacherib's exact idea. He spoke not of the literal technical thing siege, but of the distress and confinement that the apprehension of the siege did not fail to bring. This so to say moral tone to the rendering of the word ( בְּמָצוֹר ) is much to be preferred to that of the margin, "in the fortress or stronghold ."
