SCRIPTURE

"So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish." — 2 Kings 19:8 (ASV)

For commentary on Lachish and Libnah, see the notes on Joshua 10:3 and Joshua 10:29. The phrase “he was departed from Lachish” suggests successful resistance.
