32AFTER THESE things and this loyalty, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, invaded Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to take them.H310H1697H571H5576H4428H804H935H935H3063H2583H1219H5892H559H1234 2When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and intended to fight against Jerusalem,H3169H7200H5576H935H6440H4421H3389 3He decided with his officers and his mighty men to stop up the waters of the fountains which were outside the city [by enclosing them with masonry and concealing them], and they helped him.H3289H8269H1368H5640H4325H5869H2351H5892H5826 4So many people gathered, and they stopped up all the springs and the brook which flowed through the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?H6908H7227H5971H6908H5640H4599H5158H7857H8432H776H559H4428H804H935H4672H7227H4325 5Also Hezekiah took courage and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised towers upon it, and he built another wall outside and strengthened the Millo in the City of David and made weapons and shields in abundance.H2388H1129H2346H6555H5927H4026H312H2346H2351H2388H4407H5892H1732H6213H7973H4043H7230 6And he set captains of war over the people and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,H5414H8269H4421H5971H6908H7339H8179H5892H1696H3824H559 7Be strong and courageous. Be not afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there is Another with us greater than [all those] with him.H2388H553H3372H2865H6440H4428H804H1995H7227 8With 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 relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.H2220H1320H3068H430H5826H3898H4421H5971H5564H1697H3169H4428H3063 9And this Sennacherib king of Assyria, while he himself with all his forces was before Lachish, sent his servants to Jerusalem, to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,H310H5576H4428H804H7971H5650H3389H3923H4475H3169H4428H3063H3063H3389H559 10Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do you trust, that you remain in the strongholds in Jerusalem?H559H5576H4428H804H982H3427H4692H3389 11Is not Hezekiah leading you on in order to let you die by famine and thirst, saying, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?H3169H5496H5414H4191H7458H6772H559H3068H430H5337H3709H4428H804 12Has not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, You shall worship before one altar and burn incense upon it?H3169H5493H1116H4196H559H3063H3389H559H7812H6440H259H4196H6999 13Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their lands out of my hand?H3045H1H6213H5971H776H430H1471H776H3201H3201H5337H776H3027 14Who among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?H430H1471H1H2763H3201H5337H5971H3027H430H3201H5337H3027 15So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive or mislead you in this way, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!H3808H2396H5377H5496H539H433H1471H4467H3201H5337H5971H3027H3027H1H430H5337H3027 16And his servants said still more against the Lord God and against His servant Hezekiah.H5650H1696H3068H430H5650H3169 17The Assyrian king also wrote letters insulting the Lord, the God of Israel, and speaking against Him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver His people out of my hand.H3789H5612H2778H3068H430H3478H559H559H430H1471H776H5337H5971H3027H430H3169H5337H5971H3027 18And they shouted it loudly in the Jewish language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them, that they might take the city.H7121H1419H6963H3066H5971H3389H2346H3372H926H3920H5892 19And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they spoke of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of the hands of men.H1696H5921H430H3389H430H5971H776H4639H3027H120 20For this cause Hezekiah the king and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz prayed and cried to heaven.H3169H4428H5030H3470H1121H531H6419H2199H8064 21And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So the Assyrian king returned with shamed face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, they who were his own offspring slew him there with the sword.H3068H7971H4397H3582H1368H2428H5057H8269H4264H4428H804H7725H1322H6440H776H935H1004H430H3329H4578H5307H2719 22Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies, and He guided them on every side.H3068H3467H3169H3427H3389H3027H5576H4428H804H3027H5095H5439 23And many brought gifts to Jerusalem to the Lord and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah; so from then on he was magnified in the sight of all nations.H7227H935H4503H3068H3389H4030H3169H4428H3063H5375H5869H1471H310 24In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of death; and he prayed to the Lord and He answered him and gave him a sign.H3117H3169H2470H4191H6419H3068H559H5414H4159 25But Hezekiah did not make return [to the Lord] according to the benefit done to him, for his heart became proud [at such a spectacular response to his prayer]; therefore there was wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.H3169H7725H1576H3820H1361H7110H3063H3389 26But 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.H3169H3665H1363H3820H3427H3389H7110H3068H935H3117H3169 27And Hezekiah had very great wealth and honor, and he made for himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of attractive vessels,H3169H3966H7235H6239H3519H6213H214H3701H2091H3368H68H1314H4043H2532H3627 28Storehouses also for the increase of grain, vintage fruits, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and sheepfolds.H4543H8393H1715H8492H3323H723H929H220H5739 29Moreover, he provided for himself cities and flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very great possessions.H6213H5892H4735H6629H1241H7230H430H5414H7399H3966H7227 30This same Hezekiah also closed the upper springs of Gihon and directed the waters down to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.H3169H5640H5945H4161H4325H1521H3474H4295H4628H5892H1732H3169H6743H4639 31And so in the matter of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon who were sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to himself to try him, that He might know all that was in his heart.H3651H3887H8269H894H7971H1875H4159H776H430H5800H5254H3045H3824 32Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, 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.H3499H1697H3169H2617H3789H2377H3470H5030H1121H531H5612H4428H3063H3478 33And Hezekiah slept with his fathers and was buried in the ascent of the tombs of the descendants of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.H3169H7901H1H6912H4608H6913H1121H1732H3063H3427H3389H6213H3519H4194H4519H1121H4427
