I figli d'Israele inventarono di nascosto, riguardo al Signore loro Dio, cose che non erano giuste, e si costruirono alture in tutte le loro città, dalla torre di guardia fino alla città fortificata;
Ibn Ezra
The fortress also shall cease, etc. When Sennacherib came, Damascus had been already conquered and also Samaria with its fortresses.4According to the Hebrew text: When Sennacherib came, he took (תפש) Damascus and also Samaria with its fortresses. This is incorrect, for Tiglath Pileser took Damascus in the time of Ahaz (2 Kings 16:7—10), and Shalmaneser conquered Samaria (ibid. 17:9, 10) in the sixth year of King Hezekiah; Sennacherib entered Judah in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah. This incorrectness is probably not the fault of I. E., but that of the copyist; for if we read instead of תפש, the Niphal נתפשה, and translate for when Sennacherib came, Damascus was already conquered, Samaria with its fortresses likewise, we have a better construction of the sentence, and no contradiction of the account given in the Book of Kings. I. E. refers the prophecy of this chapter to the period of the Assyrian invasion under Sennacherib.
