Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Kings 19:24

24 I have digged and drank strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.

Such as were never discovered nor used by others. And therefore all thy indeavours to deprive me of Water for my Army, 2 Chron. 32. 3. are Idle and Fruitless.

And as I can furnish my Army with Water digged out of the Earth, by their Labour, and my Art; so I can deprive my Enemies of their Water, and can dry up their rivers, and that with the sole of my feet; i. e. With the March of my Vast and Numerous Army, who will easily do this, either by Marching thorough them, and each carrying part away with them: or by Drinking every one a little of them: or by their Pains, making many new Channels, and deriving the Waters of the River into them, as Cyrus dried up Euphrates, and thereby took Babylon.
