Midrash sa 2 Mga Hari 18:24: Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael & Midrash Tanchuma

וְאֵ֣יךְ תָּשִׁ֗יב אֵ֠ת פְּנֵ֨י פַחַ֥ת אַחַ֛ד עַבְדֵ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י הַקְּטַנִּ֑ים וַתִּבְטַ֤ח לְךָ֙ עַל־מִצְרַ֔יִם לְרֶ֖כֶב וּלְפָרָשִֽׁים׃

Paano mo nga mapaaatras ang isang kapitan, kahit ang pinakamababa sa mga lingkod ng aking panginoon? Gayunma'y nagtitiwala ka sa Egipto para sa mga karwahe at mga mangangabayo!

Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael

And thus Sancheriv — With what he vaunted himself, punishment was exacted of him, viz. (II Kings 19:23) "Through your envoys you have blasphemed the L–rd, etc.", and (Ibid. 24) "It is I (Sancheriv), who have drawn and drunk the water of strangers, etc.", and (Ibid.) "An angel of the L–rd went out and smote in the Assyrian camp one hundred and eighty-five thousand, etc." They said: The greatest of them commanded one hundred and eighty-five thousand, and the smallest of them no less than two thousand, viz. (18:24) "So how can you refuse anything even to the deputy of one of my master's lesser servants, etc." (Ibid. 19:21-22) is the thing that the L–rd spoke concerning him … Whom have you blasphemed, etc." and (Isaiah 10:32) "This same day at Nov he shall stand and waver his hand, etc."

Midrash Tanchuma

Their supreme commander was in charge of a hundred fourscore and five thousand men, and their lowliest officer was in charge of two thousand men, as it is said: How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain, even of the least of my master’s servants? and yet thou puttest thy trust on Egypt for chariots and horsemen (ibid. 18:24). It is also written: This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel (ibid., vv. 21–23).
