1

After [0310] these things, [1697] and the establishment [0571] thereof, Sennacherib [5576] king [4428] of Assyria [0804] came, [0935] and entered [0935] into Judah, [3063] and encamped [2583] against the fenced [1219] cities, [5892] and thought [0559] to win [1234] them for himself.

2

And when Hezekiah [3169] saw [7200] that Sennacherib [5576] was come, [0935] and that he was purposed [6440] to fight [4421] against Jerusalem, [3389]

3

He took counsel [3289] with his princes [8269] and his mighty men [1368] to stop [5640] the waters [4325] of the fountains [5869] which [were] without [2351] the city: [5892] and they did help [5826] him.

4

So there was gathered much [7227] people [5971] together, [6908] who stopped [5640] all the fountains, [4599] and the brook [5158] that ran [7857] through the midst [8432] of the land, [0776] saying, [0559] Why should the kings [4428] of Assyria [0804] come, [0935] and find [4672] much [7227] water? [4325]

5

Also he strengthened [2388] himself, and built up [1129] all the wall [2346] that was broken, [6555] and raised [it] up [5927] to the towers, [4026] and another [0312] wall [2346] without, [2351] and repaired [2388] Millo [4407] [in] the city [5892] of David, [1732] and made [6213] darts [7973] and shields [4043] in abundance. [7230]

6

And he set [5414] captains [8269] of war [4421] over the people, [5971] and gathered them together [6908] to him in the street [7339] of the gate [8179] of the city, [5892] and spake [1696] comfortably [3824] to them, saying, [0559]

7

Be strong [2388] and courageous, [0553] be not afraid [3372] nor dismayed [2865] for [6440] the king [4428] of Assyria, [0804] nor for [6440] all the multitude [1995] that [is] with him: for [there be] more [7227] with us than with him:

8

With him [is] an arm [2220] of flesh; [1320] but with us [is] the LORD [3068] our God [0430] to help [5826] us, and to fight [3898] our battles. [4421] And the people [5971] rested [5564] themselves upon the words [1697] of Hezekiah [3169] king [4428] of Judah. [3063]

9

After [0310] this did Sennacherib [5576] king [4428] of Assyria [0804] send [7971] his servants [5650] to Jerusalem, [3389] (but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish, [3923] and all his power [4475] with him,) unto Hezekiah [3169] king [4428] of Judah, [3063] and unto all Judah [3063] that [were] at Jerusalem, [3389] saying, [0559]

10

Thus saith [0559] Sennacherib [5576] king [4428] of Assyria, [0804] Whereon do ye trust, [0982] that ye abide [3427] in the siege [4692] in Jerusalem? [3389]

11

Doth not Hezekiah [3169] persuade [5496] you to give [5414] over yourselves to die [4191] by famine [7458] and by thirst, [6772] saying, [0559] The LORD [3068] our God [0430] shall deliver [5337] us out of the hand [3709] of the king [4428] of Assyria? [0804]

12

Hath not the same Hezekiah [3169] taken away [5493] his high places [1116] and his altars, [4196] and commanded [0559] Judah [3063] and Jerusalem, [3389] saying, [0559] Ye shall worship [7812] before [6440] one [0259] altar, [4196] and burn incense [6999] upon it?

13

Know [3045] ye not what I and my fathers [0001] have done [6213] unto all the people [5971] of [other] lands? [0776] were the gods [0430] of the nations [1471] of those lands [0776] any ways [3201] able [3201] to deliver [5337] their lands [0776] out of mine hand? [3027]

14

Who [was there] among all the gods [0430] of those nations [1471] that my fathers [0001] utterly destroyed, [2763] that could [3201] deliver [5337] his people [5971] out of mine hand, [3027] that your God [0430] should be able [3201] to deliver [5337] you out of mine hand? [3027]

15

Now therefore let not [0408] Hezekiah [2396] deceive [5377] you, nor [0408] persuade [5496] you on this manner, neither [0408] yet believe [0539] him: for no [3808] god [0433] of any nation [1471] or kingdom [4467] was able [3201] to deliver [5337] his people [5971] out of mine hand, [3027] and out of the hand [3027] of my fathers: [0001] how much less [3808] shall your God [0430] deliver [5337] you out of mine hand? [3027]

16

And his servants [5650] spake [1696] yet [more] against the LORD [3068] God, [0430] and against his servant [5650] Hezekiah. [3169]

17

He wrote [3789] also letters [5612] to rail [2778] on the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel, [3478] and to speak [0559] against him, saying, [0559] As the gods [0430] of the nations [1471] of [other] lands [0776] have not delivered [5337] their people [5971] out of mine hand, [3027] so shall not the God [0430] of Hezekiah [3169] deliver [5337] his people [5971] out of mine hand. [3027]

18

Then they cried [7121] with a loud [1419] voice [6963] in the Jews' speech [3066] unto the people [5971] of Jerusalem [3389] that [were] on the wall, [2346] to affright [3372] them, and to trouble [0926] them; that they might take [3920] the city. [5892]

19

And they spake [1696] against the God [0430] of Jerusalem, [3389] as against [5921] the gods [0430] of the people [5971] of the earth, [0776] [which were] the work [4639] of the hands [3027] of man. [0120]

20

And for this [cause] Hezekiah [3169] the king, [4428] and the prophet [5030] Isaiah [3470] the son [1121] of Amoz, [0531] prayed [6419] and cried [2199] to heaven. [8064]

21

And the LORD [3068] sent [7971] an angel, [4397] which cut off [3582] all the mighty men [1368] of valour, [2428] and the leaders [5057] and captains [8269] in the camp [4264] of the king [4428] of Assyria. [0804] So he returned [7725] with shame [1322] of face [6440] to his own land. [0776] And when he was come [0935] into the house [1004] of his god, [0430] they that came forth [3329] of his own bowels [4578] slew [5307] him there with the sword. [2719]

22

Thus the LORD [3068] saved [3467] Hezekiah [3169] and the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem [3389] from the hand [3027] of Sennacherib [5576] the king [4428] of Assyria, [0804] and from the hand [3027] of all [other], and guided [5095] them on every side. [5439]

23

And many [7227] brought [0935] gifts [4503] unto the LORD [3068] to Jerusalem, [3389] and presents [4030] to Hezekiah [3169] king [4428] of Judah: [3063] so that he was magnified [5375] in the sight [5869] of all nations [1471] from thenceforth. [0310]

24

In those days [3117] Hezekiah [3169] was sick [2470] to the death, [4191] and prayed [6419] unto the LORD: [3068] and he spake [0559] unto him, and he gave [5414] him a sign. [4159]

25

But Hezekiah [3169] rendered not again [7725] according to the benefit [1576] [done] unto him; for his heart [3820] was lifted up: [1361] therefore there was wrath [7110] upon him, and upon Judah [3063] and Jerusalem. [3389]

26

Notwithstanding Hezekiah [3169] humbled [3665] himself for the pride [1363] of his heart, [3820] [both] he and the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem, [3389] so that the wrath [7110] of the LORD [3068] came [0935] not upon them in the days [3117] of Hezekiah. [3169]

27

And Hezekiah [3169] had exceeding [3966] much [7235] riches [6239] and honour: [3519] and he made [6213] himself treasuries [0214] for silver, [3701] and for gold, [2091] and for precious [3368] stones, [0068] and for spices, [1314] and for shields, [4043] and for all manner of pleasant [2532] jewels; [3627]

28

Storehouses [4543] also for the increase [8393] of corn, [1715] and wine, [8492] and oil; [3323] and stalls [0723] for all manner of beasts, [0929] [0929] and cotes [0220] for flocks. [5739]

29

Moreover he provided [6213] him cities, [5892] and possessions [4735] of flocks [6629] and herds [1241] in abundance: [7230] for God [0430] had given [5414] him substance [7399] very [3966] much. [7227]

30

This same Hezekiah [3169] also stopped [5640] the upper [5945] watercourse [4161] [4325] of Gihon, [1521] and brought it straight [3474] down [4295] to the west side [4628] of the city [5892] of David. [1732] And Hezekiah [3169] prospered [6743] in all his works. [4639]

31

Howbeit [3651] in [the business of] the ambassadors [3887] of the princes [8269] of Babylon, [0894] who sent [7971] unto him to enquire [1875] of the wonder [4159] that was [done] in the land, [0776] God [0430] left [5800] him, to try [5254] him, that he might know [3045] all [that was] in his heart. [3824]

32

Now the rest [3499] of the acts [1697] of Hezekiah, [3169] and his goodness, [2617] behold, they [are] written [3789] in the vision [2377] of Isaiah [3470] the prophet, [5030] the son [1121] of Amoz, [0531] [and] in the book [5612] of the kings [4428] of Judah [3063] and Israel. [3478]

33

And Hezekiah [3169] slept [7901] with his fathers, [0001] and they buried [6912] him in the chiefest [4608] of the sepulchres [6913] of the sons [1121] of David: [1732] and all Judah [3063] and the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem [3389] did [6213] him honour [3519] at his death. [4194] And Manasseh [4519] his son [1121] reigned [4427] in his stead.
