1 After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, entered into Judah, encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to win them for himself. 2 Chronicles 32:1WEB
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he was planning to fight against Jerusalem, 2 Chronicles 32:2WEB
3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city, and they helped him. 2 Chronicles 32:3WEB
4 Then many people gathered together and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the middle of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find abundant water?” 2 Chronicles 32:4WEB
5 He took courage, built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, with the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in David’s city, and made weapons and shields in abundance. 2 Chronicles 32:5WEB
6 He set captains of war over the people, gathered them together to him in the wide place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying, 2 Chronicles 32:6WEB
7 “Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater one with us than with him. 2 Chronicles 32:7WEB
8 An arm of flesh is with him, but YHWH our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles.” The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 2 Chronicles 32:8WEB
9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was attacking Lachish, and all his forces were with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying, 2 Chronicles 32:9WEB
10 Sennacherib king of Assyria says, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem? 2 Chronicles 32:10WEB
11 Doesn’t Hezekiah persuade you to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘YHWH our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?’ 2 Chronicles 32:11WEB
12 Hasn’t the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense on it?’ 2 Chronicles 32:12WEB
13 Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand? 2 Chronicles 32:13WEB
14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand? 2 Chronicles 32:14WEB
15 Now therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you nor persuade you in this way. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?” 2 Chronicles 32:15WEB
16 His servants spoke yet more against YHWH God and against his servant Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 32:16WEB
17 He also wrote letters insulting YHWH, the God of Israel, and speaking against him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.” 2 Chronicles 32:17WEB
18 They called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they might take the city. 2 Chronicles 32:18WEB
19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands. 2 Chronicles 32:19WEB
20 Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven. 2 Chronicles 32:20WEB
21 YHWH sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, the leaders, and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, those who came out of his own body killed him there with the sword. 2 Chronicles 32:21WEB
22 Thus YHWH saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side. 2 Chronicles 32:22WEB
23 Many brought gifts to YHWH to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from then on. 2 Chronicles 32:23WEB
24 In those days Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to YHWH; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign. 2 Chronicles 32:24WEB
25 But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 32:25WEB
26 However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that YHWH’s wrath didn’t come on them in the days of Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 32:26WEB
27 Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honor. He provided himself with treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of valuable vessels; 2 Chronicles 32:27WEB
28 also storehouses for the increase of grain, new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds. 2 Chronicles 32:28WEB
29 Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him abundant possessions. 2 Chronicles 32:29WEB
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of David’s city. Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 2 Chronicles 32:30WEB
31 However, concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to test him, that he might know all that was in his heart. 2 Chronicles 32:31WEB
32 Now 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, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2 Chronicles 32:32WEB
33 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent to the tombs of the sons of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 32:33WEB
