Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, 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.

Then Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, Shebna, and Joah told Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in Syrian language because we understand it. Don't talk to us in Jewish language while the people on the wall can hear."
