2Ch 2 Chronicles, chapter Second Book of Chronicles, chapter 32
After these things and this truth, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come, indeed, he comes to Judah, and encamps against the cities of the bulwarks, and says to break into them himself. 2Ki 18:13; Isa 36:1And Hezekiah sees that Sennacherib has come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem, and he takes 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, and many 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?” And he strengthens himself, and builds the whole of the wall that is broken, and causes [it] to ascend to the towers, and at the outside of the wall [builds] another, and strengthens Millo [in] the City of David, and makes darts in abundance, and shields. 2Ch 25:23And he puts heads of war over the people, and gathers them to him, to the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaks to their heart, saying, “Be strong and courageous, do not be 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. 2Ki 6:16; 1Jn 4:4; Isa 31:3With him [is] an arm of flesh, but with us [is] our God YHWH to help us and to fight our battles”; and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. After this Sennacherib king of Asshur has 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, 2Ki 18:17; Mic 1:13“Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur: On what are yöu trusting and abiding in the bulwark in Jerusalem? 2Ki 18:19Is Hezekiah not persuading yöu to give yöu up to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Our God YHWH delivers us from the hand of the king of Asshur? 2Ki 18:29Has Hezekiah himself not turned aside His high places and His altars, and speaks to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, Yöu bow yourselves before one altar and yöu make incense on it? 2Ki 18:22Do yöu 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? 2Ki 18:33; 2Ki 19:12; Isa 10:9Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [is] he who has been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that yöur God is able to deliver yöu out of my hand? Deu 2:34; 2Ki 18:35And now, do not let Hezekiah lift yöu up, nor persuade yöu 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 yöur God does not deliver yöu from my hand!” And again his servants have spoken against YHWH God and against His servant Hezekiah, and he has written letters to give reproach to YHWH, 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 does not deliver His people from my hand.” 2Ki 19:14; Isa 37:10; Isa 37:14And 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, 2Ki 18:26; 2Ki 18:28and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land—work of the hands of man. 2Ki 18:33; 2Ki 19:12And Hezekiah the king prays, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens, 2Ki 19:1; 2Ki 19:14and YHWH sends a messenger and cuts off every mighty man of valor—both leader and head—in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turns back with shame of face to his land and enters the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword. 2Ki 19:35; Isa 37:36And YHWH saves Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur and from the hand of all, and He leads them around; and many are bringing in an offering to YHWH, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this. In those days Hezekiah has been sick even to death, and he prays to YHWH, and He speaks to him and has appointed a wonder for him; 2Ki 20:1; Isa 38:1and Hezekiah has not returned according to the deed [done] to him, for his heart has been lofty, and there is wrath on him and on Judah and Jerusalem; Luk 17:18; Isa 39:2and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of YHWH has not come on them in the days of Hezekiah. 2Ki 20:17And Hezekiah has very much riches and honor, and he has made treasures for himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all [kinds] of desirable vessels, and storehouses for the increase of grain, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and herds for stalls; and he has made cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God has given very much substance to him. And Hezekiah himself has stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directs them beneath to the west of the City of David, and Hezekiah prospers in all his work; 2Ki 20:20and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending to him to inquire of the wonder that has been in the land, God has left him to try him, to know all in his heart. Isa 39:1; 2Ki 20:11; Deu 8:2; Deu 13:3And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah and his kind acts, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel. Isa 36:1; 2Ki 18:1; 2Ki 19:1And Hezekiah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the highest of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honor to him at his death, and his son Manasseh reigns in his stead.2Ki 20:21
