A request to speak Aramaic

11Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. And do not speak to us in Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”

12But the Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? Has he not sent me to the men sitting on the wall, to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
