1 H310 After H1697 these things H571 , and their establishment H5576 , Sennacherib H4428 king H804 of Assyria H935 [H8804] came H935 [H8799] , and entered H3063 into Judah H2583 [H8799] , and encamped H1219 [H8803] against the fortified H5892 cities H559 [H8799] , and thought H1234 [H8800] to win them for himself.

2 H3169 And when Hezekiah H7200 [H8799] saw H5576 that Sennacherib H935 [H8804] had come H6440 , and that he purposed H4421 to fight H3389 against Jerusalem,

3 H3289 [H8735] He took counsel H8269 with his princes H1368 and his mighty men H5640 [H8800] to stop H4325 the waters H5869 of the fountains H2351 which were outside H5892 the city H5826 [H8799] : and they helped him.

4 H6908 0 So there was gathered H7227 many H5971 people H6908 [H8735] together H5640 [H8799] , who stopped H4599 all the fountains H5158 , and the brook H7857 [H8802] that ran H8432 through the midst H776 of the land H559 [H8800] , saying H4428 , Why should the kings H804 of Assyria H935 [H8799] come H4672 [H8804] , and find H7227 much H4325 water?

5 H2388 [H8691] Also he strengthened H1129 [H8799] himself, and built up H2346 all the wall H6555 [H8803] that was broken H5927 [H8686] , and raised it up H4026 to the towers H312 , and another H2346 wall H2351 without H2388 [H8762] , and repaired H4407 Millo H5892 in the city H1732 of David H6213 [H8799] , and made H7973 weapons H4043 and shields H7230 in abundance.

6 H5414 [H8799] And he set H8269 captains H4421 of war H5971 over the people H6908 [H8799] , and gathered them together H7339 to him in the street H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city H1696 H3824 [H8762] , and encouraged H559 [H8800] them, saying,

7 H2388 [H8798] Be strong H553 [H8798] and courageous H3372 [H8799] , be not afraid H2865 [H8735] nor dismayed H6440 for H4428 the king H804 of Assyria H1995 , nor for all the multitude H7227 that is with him: for there are more with us than with him:

8 H2220 With him is an arm H1320 of flesh H3068 ; but with us is the LORD H430 our God H5826 [H8800] to help H3898 [H8736] us, and to fight H4421 our battles H5971 . And the people H5564 [H8735] rested H1697 themselves upon the words H3169 of Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah.

9 H310 After H5576 this Sennacherib H4428 king H804 of Assyria H7971 [H8804] sent H5650 his servants H3389 to Jerusalem H3923 , (but he himself laid siege against Lachish H4475 , and all his power H3169 with him,) to Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H3063 , and to all Judah H3389 that were at Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying,

10 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H5576 Sennacherib H4428 king H804 of Assyria H982 [H8802] , On what do ye trust H3427 [H8802] , that ye abide H4692 in the siege H3389 in Jerusalem?

11 H3169 Doth not Hezekiah H5496 [H8688] persuade H5414 [H8800] you to give H4191 [H8800] over yourselves to die H7458 by famine H6772 and by thirst H559 [H8800] , saying H3068 , The LORD H430 our God H5337 [H8686] shall deliver H3709 us out of the hand H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria?

12 H3169 Hath not the same Hezekiah H5493 [H8689] taken away H1116 his high places H4196 and his altars H559 [H8799] , and commanded H3063 Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying H7812 [H8691] , Ye shall worship H6440 before H259 one H4196 altar H6999 [H8686] , and burn incense upon it?

13 H3045 [H8799] Know H1 ye not what I and my fathers H6213 [H8804] have done H5971 to all the people H776 of other lands H430 ? were the gods H1471 of the nations H776 of those lands H3201 [H8800] any ways H3201 [H8804] able H5337 [H8687] to deliver H776 their lands H3027 out of my hand?

14 H430 Who was there among all the gods H1471 of those nations H1 that my fathers H2763 [H8689] utterly destroyed H3201 [H8804] , that could H5337 [H8687] deliver H5971 his people H3027 out of my hand H430 , that your God H3201 [H8799] should be able H5337 [H8687] to deliver H3027 you out of my hand?

15 H3808 Now therefore let not H2396 Hezekiah H5377 [H8686] deceive H5496 [H8686] you, nor persuade H539 [H8686] you in this manner, neither yet believe H433 him: for no god H1471 of any nation H4467 or kingdom H3201 [H8799] hath been able H5337 [H8687] to deliver H5971 his people H3027 out of my hand H3027 , and out of the hand H1 of my fathers H430 : how much less shall your God H5337 [H8686] deliver H3027 you out of my hand?

16 H5650 And his servants H1696 [H8765] spoke H3068 yet more against the LORD H430 God H5650 , and against his servant H3169 Hezekiah.

17 H3789 [H8804] He wrote H5612 also letters H2778 [H8763] to rail H3068 at the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H559 [H8800] , and to speak H559 [H8800] against him, saying H430 , As the gods H1471 of the nations H776 of other lands H5337 [H8689] have not delivered H5971 their people H3027 out of my hand H430 , so shall not the God H3169 of Hezekiah H5337 [H8686] deliver H5971 his people H3027 out of my hand.

18 H7121 [H8799] Then they cried H1419 with a loud H6963 voice H3066 in the Jews' speech H5971 to the people H3389 of Jerusalem H2346 that were on the wall H3372 [H8763] , to make them afraid H926 [H8763] , and to trouble H3920 [H8799] them; that they might take H5892 the city.

19 H1696 [H8762] And they spoke H5921 against H430 the God H3389 of Jerusalem H430 , as against the gods H5971 of the people H776 of the earth H4639 , the work H3027 of the hands H120 of man.

20 H3169 And for this cause Hezekiah H4428 the king H5030 , and the prophet H3470 Isaiah H1121 the son H531 of Amoz H6419 [H8691] , prayed H2199 [H8799] and cried H8064 to heaven.

21 H3068 And the LORD H7971 [H8799] sent H4397 an angel H3582 [H8686] , who cut off H1368 all the mighty men H2428 of valour H5057 , and the leaders H8269 and captains H4264 in the camp H4428 of the king H804 of Assyria H7725 [H8799] . So he returned H1322 with shame H6440 of face H776 to his own land H935 [H8799] . And when he had come H1004 into the house H430 of his god H3329 , they that came forth H4578 from his own bowels H5307 [H8689] slew H2719 him there with the sword.

22 H3068 Thus the LORD H3467 [H8686] saved H3169 Hezekiah H3427 [H8802] and the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem H3027 from the hand H5576 of Sennacherib H4428 the king H804 of Assyria H3027 , and from the hand H5095 [H8762] of all others, and guided H5439 them on every side.
