@
After
these
things
, and the
establishment
thereof,
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
came
, and
entered
into
Judah
, and
encamped
against the
fenced
cities
, and
thought
to
win
them for himself.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:2
@ And when
Hezekiah
saw
that
Sennacherib
was
come
, and that he was
purposed
to
fight
against
Jerusalem
,
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:3
@ He took
counsel
with his
princes
and his mighty
men
to
stop
the
waters
of the
fountains
which were
without
the
city
: and they did
help
him.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:4
@ So there was
gathered
much
people
together
, who
stopped
all the
fountains
, and the
brook
that
ran
through the
midst
of the
land
,
saying
, Why should the
kings
of
Assyria
come
, and
find
much
water
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:5
@ Also he
strengthened
himself, and built
up
all the
wall
that was
broken
, and raised it
up
to the
towers
, and
another
wall
without
, and
repaired
Millo
in the
city
of
David
, and
made
darts
and
shields
in
abundance
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:6
@ And he
set
captains
of
war
over the
people
, and gathered them
together
to him in the
street
of the
gate
of the
city
, and
spake
comfortably
to them,
saying
,
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:7
@ Be
strong
and
courageous
, be not
afraid
nor
dismayed
for
the
king
of
Assyria
, nor for all the
multitude
that is with him: for there be
more
with us than with him:
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:8
@ With him is an
arm
of
flesh
; but with us is the
LORD
our
God
to
help
us, and to
fight
our
battles
. And the
people
rested
themselves upon the
words
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:9
@
After
this did
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
send
his
servants
to
Jerusalem
, (but he himself laid siege against
Lachish
, and all his
power
with him,) unto
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
, and unto all
Judah
that were at
Jerusalem
,
saying
,
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:10
@ Thus
saith
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
, Whereon do ye
trust
, that ye
abide
in the
siege
in
Jerusalem
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:11
@ Doth not
Hezekiah
persuade
you to
give
over yourselves to
die
by
famine
and by
thirst
,
saying
, The
LORD
our
God
shall
deliver
us out of the
hand
of the
king
of
Assyria
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:12
@ Hath not the same
Hezekiah
taken
away
his high
places
and his
altars
, and
commanded
Judah
and
Jerusalem
,
saying
, Ye shall
worship
before
one
altar
, and burn
incense
upon it?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:13
@
Know
ye not what I and my
fathers
have
done
unto all the
people
of other
lands
? were the
gods
of the
nations
of those
lands
any
ways
able
to
deliver
their
lands
out of mine
hand
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:14
@ Who was there among all the
gods
of those
nations
that my
fathers
utterly
destroyed
, that
could
deliver
his
people
out of mine
hand
, that your
God
should be
able
to
deliver
you out of mine
hand
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:15
@ Now therefore let
not
Hezekiah
deceive
you, nor
persuade
you on this manner, neither yet
believe
him: for no
god
of any
nation
or
kingdom
was
able
to
deliver
his
people
out of mine
hand
, and out of the
hand
of my
fathers
: how much less shall your
God
deliver
you out of mine
hand
?
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:16
@ And his
servants
spake
yet more against the
LORD
God
, and against his
servant
Hezekiah
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:17
@ He
wrote
also
letters
to
rail
on the
LORD
God
of
Israel
, and to
speak
against him,
saying
, As the
gods
of the
nations
of other
lands
have not
delivered
their
people
out of mine
hand
, so shall not the
God
of
Hezekiah
deliver
his
people
out of mine
hand
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:18
@ Then they
cried
with a
loud
voice
in the Jews
speech
unto the
people
of
Jerusalem
that were on the
wall
, to
affright
them, and to
trouble
them; that they might
take
the
city
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:19
@ And they
spake
against
the
God
of
Jerusalem
, as against the
gods
of the
people
of the
earth
, which were the
work
of the
hands
of
man
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:20
@ And for this cause
Hezekiah
the
king
, and the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
,
prayed
and
cried
to
heaven
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:21
@ And the
LORD
sent
an
angel
, which cut
off
all the mighty
men
of
valour
, and the
leaders
and
captains
in the
camp
of the
king
of
Assyria
. So he
returned
with
shame
of
face
to his own
land
. And when he was
come
into the
house
of his
god
, they that came
forth
of his own
bowels
slew
him there with the
sword
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:22
@ Thus the
LORD
saved
Hezekiah
and the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
from the
hand
of
Sennacherib
the
king
of
Assyria
, and from the
hand
of all other, and
guided
them on every
side
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:23
@ And
many
brought
gifts
unto the
LORD
to
Jerusalem
, and
presents
to
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
: so that he was
magnified
in the
sight
of all
nations
from
thenceforth
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:24
@ In those
days
Hezekiah
was
sick
to the
death
, and
prayed
unto the
LORD
: and he
spake
unto him, and he
gave
him a
sign
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:25
@ But
Hezekiah
rendered not
again
according to the
benefit
done unto him; for his
heart
was lifted
up
: therefore there was
wrath
upon him, and upon
Judah
and
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:26
@ Notwithstanding
Hezekiah
humbled
himself for the
pride
of his
heart
, both he and the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
, so that the
wrath
of the
LORD
came
not upon them in the
days
of
Hezekiah
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:27
@ And
Hezekiah
had
exceeding
much
riches
and
honour
: and he
made
himself
treasuries
for
silver
, and for
gold
, and for
precious
stones
, and for
spices
, and for
shields
, and for all manner of
pleasant
jewels
;
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:28
@
Storehouses
also for the
increase
of
corn
, and
wine
, and
oil
; and
stalls
for all manner of
beasts
, and
cotes
for
flocks
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:29
@ Moreover he
provided
him
cities
, and
possessions
of
flocks
and
herds
in
abundance
: for
God
had
given
him
substance
very
much
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:30
@ This same
Hezekiah
also
stopped
the
upper
watercourse
of
Gihon
, and brought it
straight
down
to the west
side
of the
city
of
David
. And
Hezekiah
prospered
in all his
works
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:31
@
Howbeit
in the business of the
ambassadors
of the
princes
of
Babylon
, who
sent
unto him to
enquire
of the
wonder
that was done in the
land
,
God
left
him, to
try
him, that he might
know
all that was in his
heart
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:32
@ Now the
rest
of the
acts
of
Hezekiah
, and his
goodness
, behold, they are
written
in the
vision
of
Isaiah
the
prophet
, the
son
of
Amoz
, and in the
book
of the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:32:33
@ And
Hezekiah
slept
with his
fathers
, and they
buried
him in the
chiefest
of the
sepulchres
of the
sons
of
David
: and all
Judah
and the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
did
him
honour
at his
death
. And
Manasseh
his
son
reigned
in his stead.
