The Lord deliver us from both, That an Assyrian may not be our King. Why an Assyrian? why was he threatened 1to be their King? You shall find that he was one of a cruel stout heart, an hard heart, and a proud heart, the Assyrians were so; They were a generation of men of cruel, proud, stout, hard-hearted men. Isa. 10. 5.

This is that the Lord threatens here; and why? Because they refused to return.
