Chapter 32
After
these
things,
and
the
establishment
thereof,
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
came,
and
entered
into
Judah,
and
encamped
against
the
fenced
cities,
and
thought
to
win
them
for
himself.
2
And
when
Hezekiah
saw
that
Sennacherib
was
come,
and
that
he
was
purposed
to
fight
against
Jerusalem,
3
He
took
counsel
with
his
princes
and
his
mighty
men
to
stop
the
waters
of
the
fountains
which
were
without
the
city:
and
they
did
help
him.
4
So
there
was
gathered
much
people
together,
who
stopped
all
the
fountains,
and
the
brook
that
ran
through
the
midst
of
the
land,
saying,
Why
should
the
kings
of
Assyria
come,
and
find
much
water?
5
Also
he
strengthened
himself,
and
built
up
all
the
wall
that
was
broken,
and
raised
it
up
to
the
towers,
and
another
wall
without,
and
repaired
Millo
in
the
city
of
David,
and
made
darts
and
shields
in
abundance.
6
And
he
set
captains
of
war
over
the
people,
and
gathered
them
together
to
him
in
the
street
of
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
spake
comfortably
to
them,
saying,
7
Be
strong
and
courageous,
be
not
afraid
nor
dismayed
for
the
king
of
Assyria,
nor
for
all
the
multitude
that
is
with
him:
for
there
be
more
with
us
than
with
him:
8
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
rested
themselves
upon
the
words
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah.
9
After
this
did
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria
send
his
servants
to
Jerusalem,
(but
he
himself
laid
siege
against
Lachish,
and
all
his
power
with
him,)
unto
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
unto
all
Judah
that
were
at
Jerusalem,
saying,
10
Thus
saith
Sennacherib
king
of
Assyria,
Whereon
do
ye
trust,
that
ye
abide
in
the
siege
in
Jerusalem?
11
Doth
not
Hezekiah
persuade
you
to
give
over
yourselves
to
die
by
famine
and
by
thirst,
saying,
The
Lord
our
God
shall
deliver
us
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Assyria?
12
Hath
not
the
same
Hezekiah
taken
away
his
high
places
and
his
altars,
and
commanded
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
saying,
Ye
shall
worship
before
one
altar,
and
burn
incense
upon
it?
13
Know
ye
not
what
I
and
my
fathers
have
done
unto
all
the
people
of
other
lands?
were
the
gods
of
the
nations
of
those
lands
any
ways
able
to
deliver
their
lands
out
of
mine
hand?
14
Who
was
there
among
all
the
gods
of
those
nations
that
my
fathers
utterly
destroyed,
that
could
deliver
his
people
out
of
mine
hand,
that
your
God
should
be
able
to
deliver
you
out
of
mine
hand?
15
Now
therefore
let
not
Hezekiah
deceive
you,
nor
persuade
you
on
this
manner,
neither
yet
believe
him:
for
no
god
of
any
nation
or
kingdom
was
able
to
deliver
his
people
out
of
mine
hand,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
my
fathers:
how
much
less
shall
your
God
deliver
you
out
of
mine
hand?
16
And
his
servants
spake
yet
more
against
the
Lord
God,
and
against
his
servant
Hezekiah.
17
He
wrote
also
letters
to
rail
on
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
and
to
speak
against
him,
saying,
As
the
gods
of
the
nations
of
other
lands
have
not
delivered
their
people
out
of
mine
hand,
so
shall
not
the
God
of
Hezekiah
deliver
his
people
out
of
mine
hand.
18
Then
they
cried
with
a
loud
voice
in
the
Jews’
speech
unto
the
people
of
Jerusalem
that
were
on
the
wall,
to
affright
them,
and
to
trouble
them;
that
they
might
take
the
city.
19
And
they
spake
against
the
God
of
Jerusalem,
as
against
the
gods
of
the
people
of
the
earth,
which
were
the
work
of
the
hands
of
man.
20
And
for
this
cause
Hezekiah
the
king,
and
the
prophet
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz,
prayed
and
cried
to
heaven.
21
And
the
Lord
sent
an
angel,
which
cut
off
all
the
mighty
men
of
valour,
and
the
leaders
and
captains
in
the
camp
of
the
king
of
Assyria.
So
he
returned
with
shame
of
face
to
his
own
land.
And
when
he
was
come
into
the
house
of
his
god,
they
that
came
forth
of
his
own
bowels
slew
him
there
with
the
sword.
22
Thus
the
Lord
saved
Hezekiah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
from
the
hand
of
Sennacherib
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
from
the
hand
of
all
other,
and
guided
them
on
every
side.
23
And
many
brought
gifts
unto
the
Lord
to
Jerusalem,
and
presents
to
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah:
so
that
he
was
magnified
in
the
sight
of
all
nations
from
thenceforth.
24
In
those
days
Hezekiah
was
sick
to
the
death,
and
prayed
unto
the
Lord:
and
he
spake
unto
him,
and
he
gave
him
a
sign.
25
But
Hezekiah
rendered
not
again
according
to
the
benefit
done
unto
him;
for
his
heart
was
lifted
up:
therefore
there
was
wrath
upon
him,
and
upon
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
26
Notwithstanding
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.
27
And
Hezekiah
had
exceeding
much
riches
and
honour:
and
he
made
himself
treasuries
for
silver,
and
for
gold,
and
for
precious
stones,
and
for
spices,
and
for
shields,
and
for
all
manner
of
pleasant
jewels;
28
Storehouses
also
for
the
increase
of
corn,
and
wine,
and
oil;
and
stalls
for
all
manner
of
beasts,
and
cotes
for
flocks.
29
Moreover
he
provided
him
cities,
and
possessions
of
flocks
and
herds
in
abundance:
for
God
had
given
him
substance
very
much.
30
This
same
Hezekiah
also
stopped
the
upper
watercourse
of
Gihon,
and
brought
it
straight
down
to
the
west
side
of
the
city
of
David.
And
Hezekiah
prospered
in
all
his
works.
31
Howbeit
in
the
business
of
the
ambassadors
of
the
princes
of
Babylon,
who
sent
unto
him
to
inquire
of
the
wonder
that
was
done
in
the
land,
God
left
him,
to
try
him,
that
he
might
know
all
that
was
in
his
heart.
32
Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Hezekiah,
and
his
goodness,
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.
33
And
Hezekiah
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the
chiefest
of
the
sepulchres
of
the
sons
of
David:
and
all
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
did
him
honour
at
his
death.
And
Manasseh
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
