*
And when Hezeki '
ah saw that Sennach '
erib had come and intended to fight against Jerusalem ,
*
he planned with his officers and his mighty men to stop the water of the springs that were outside the city ;
and they helped him .
*
A great many people were gathered ,
and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the land ,
saying , "
Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water ?"
*
He set to work resolutely and built up all the wall that was broken down ,
and raised towers upon it ,
and outside it he built another wall ;
and he strengthened the Millo in the city of David .
He also made weapons and shields in abundance .
*
And he set combat commanders over the people ,
and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them ,
saying ,
* "
Be strong and of good courage .
Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him ;
for there is one greater with us than with him .
*
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 took confidence from the words of Hezeki '
ah king of Judah .
