After these things and this truth ,
come hath Sennacherib king of Asshur ,
yea ,
he cometh in to Judah ,
and encampeth against the cities of the bulwarks ,
and saith to rend them unto himself .
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:2 @
And Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come ,
and his face [
is ]
to the battle against Jerusalem ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:3 @
and he taketh counsel with his heads and his mighty ones ,
to stop the waters of the fountains that [
are ]
at the outside of the city --
and they help him ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:4 @
and much people are gathered ,
and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land ,
saying , '
Why do the kings of Asshur come ,
and have found much water ?'
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:5 @
And he strengtheneth himself ,
and buildeth the whole of the wall that is broken ,
and causeth [
it ]
to ascend unto the towers ,
and at the outside of the wall another ,
and strengtheneth Millo , [
in ]
the city of David ,
and maketh darts in abundance ,
and shields .
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:6 @
And he putteth heads of war over the people ,
and gathereth them unto him ,
unto the broad place of a gate of the city ,
and speaketh unto their heart ,
saying ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:7 @'
Be strong and courageous ,
be not afraid ,
nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur ,
and from the face of all the multitude that [
is ]
with him ,
for with us [
are ]
more than with him .
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:8 @
With him [
is ]
an arm of flesh ,
and with us [
is ]
Jehovah our God ,
to help us ,
and to fight our battles ;'
and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah .

2Chronicles:32:9 @
After this hath Sennacherib king of Asshur sent his servants to Jerusalem --
and he [
is ]
by Lachish ,
and all his power with him --
against Hezekiah king of Judah ,
and against all Judah ,
who [
are ]
in Jerusalem ,
saying ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:10 @'
Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur ,
On what are ye trusting and abiding in the bulwark ,
in Jerusalem ?
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:11 @'
Is not Hezekiah persuading you ,
to give you up to die by famine ,
and by thirst ,
saying ,
Jehovah our God doth deliver us from the hand of the king of Asshur ?
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:12 @
Hath not Hezekiah himself turned aside His high places ,
and His altars ,
and speaketh to Judah and to Jerusalem ,
saying ,
Before one altar ye bow yourselves ,
and on it ye make perfume ?
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:13 @'
Do ye not know what I have done --
I and my fathers --
to all peoples of the lands ?
Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand ?
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:14 @
Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [
is ]
he who hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand ,
that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand ?
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:15 @'
And ,
now ,
let not Hezekiah lift you up ,
nor persuade you thus ,
nor give credence to him ,
for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand ,
and from the hand of my fathers :
also ,
surely your God doth not deliver you from my hand !'
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:16 @
And again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God ,
and against Hezekiah His servant ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:17 @
and letters he hath written to give reproach to Jehovah ,
God of Israel ,
and to speak against Him ,
saying , '
As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand ,
so the God of Hezekiah doth not deliver His people from my hand .'
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:18 @
And they call with a great voice [
in ]
Jewish ,
against the people of Jerusalem who [
are ]
on the wall ,
to frighten them ,
and to trouble them ,
that they may capture the city ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:19 @
and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land --
work of the hands of man .
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:20 @
And Hezekiah the king prayeth ,
and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet ,
concerning this ,
and they cry to the heavens ,
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:21 @
and Jehovah sendeth a messenger ,
and cutteth off every mighty one of valour --
both leader and head --
in the camp of the king of Asshur ,
and he turneth back with shame of face to his land ,
and entereth the house of his god ,
and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword .
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:22 @
And Jehovah saveth Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur ,
and from the hand of all ,
and He leadeth them round about ;
ylt @
2Chronicles:32:23 @
and many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah ,
to Jerusalem ,
and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah ,
and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this .
