Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Will you kindly make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

Τοτε ειπεν Ελιακειμ ο υιος του Χελκιου, και ο Σομνας και ο Ιωαχ, προς τον Ραβ-σακην, Λαλησον, παρακαλω, προς τους δουλους σου εις την Συριακην γλωσσαν· διοτι καταλαμβανομεν αυτην· και μη λαλει προς ημας Ιουδαιστι, εις επηκοον του λαου επι του τειχους.

Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab–shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
