Commentators explain the Rabshakeh's argument: since no other nation's gods could stop Assyria, neither can Judah's God. This logic seems powerful from a human perspective but is fatally flawed. Scholars like Gill and Calvin point out that the argument's error is equating the one true, living God with powerless, man-made idols. It's a reminder that worldly reasoning often fails because it doesn't account for God's unique and supreme power.
