Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 18:29
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
29. out of his hand ] The natural expression would be ‘out of my hand’. And so it is rendered in all the versions but the Chaldee. It is worth noting that in Isaiah these words are not expressed.

There were two grounds, and two only, on which Hezekiah could rest his refusal to surrender,
(1) ability to resist by his own natural military strength and that of his allies; and
(2) expectation based upon the language of Isaiah Isa 30:31; Isa 31:4-9, of supernatural assistance from Yahweh.
The Rab-shakeh argues that both grounds of confidence are equally fallacious.

(29) Let not Hezekiah deceive you.Rab-shakeh was quick-witted enough to take instant advantage of Eliakims unwary remark, and to come forward in the character of a friend of the people (Cheyne). (For the verb, see Gen. 3:13.)
His hand.To be corrected into my hand, in accordance with all the versions, save the Targum.

2Ki 18:29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
Ver. 29. Let not Hezekiah deceive you. ] He warneth them to beware of Hezekiah as an impostor, and to make sure work for themselves, by yielding up all to Sennacherib, and accepting of him for their liege lord.

deceived raise false hopes. Note the (Lamed) here, as in the first occurrence (Gen 3:13).
his hand = his [i.e. Asshurs king’s] hand. Some codices, with one early printed edition, and Vulgate, read “my hand”.
