For it seems most probable, from the other threatening message here following, that the siege was not raised. He was departed from Lachish Not being able to take it.

2 Kings 19:8

8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
