Exegesis
The object suffix on yekaddemenah {יְקַדְּמֶ֣נָּה | yə-qad-de-men-nā} and aleyha {עָלֶ֖יהָ | ʿa-le-hā} anchors the actions to the city. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew paratactic negatives and parallel structure to maintain rhetorical force.
In context — 2 Kings 19:32
Therefore, thus says the LORD to the king of Assyria: He will not enter this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor approach it with a shield, nor pour out a siege mound against her.
