After
these
acts
of faithfulness
Sennacherib
king
of Assyria
came
and invaded
Judah
and besieged
the fortified
cities,
and thought
to break
into them for himself.
2
Now when Hezekiah
saw
that Sennacherib
had come
and that he intended
to make war
on Jerusalem,
3
he decided
with his officers
and his warriors
to cut off
the supply of water
from the springs
which
were outside
the city,
and they helped
him.
4
So many
people
assembled
and stopped
up all
the springs
and the stream
which flowed
through
the region,
saying,
"Why
should the kings
of Assyria
come
and find
abundant
water?"
5
And he took
courage
and rebuilt
all
the
w
all
that had been broken down
and erected
towers
on it, and built another
outside
w
all
and strengthened
the Millo
in the city
of David,
and made
weapons
and shields
in great number.
6
He appointed
military
officers
over
the people
and gathered
them to him in the square
at the city
gate,
and spoke
encouragingly
to them, saying,
7
"Be strong
and courageous,
do not fear
or be dismayed
because
of the king
of Assyria
nor
because
of all
the horde
that is with him; for the one with us is greater
than
the one with him.
8
"With him is only an arm
of flesh,
but with us is the LORD
our God
to help
us and to fight
our battles."
And the people
relied
on the words
of Hezekiah
king
of Judah.
9
After
this
Sennacherib
king
of Assyria
sent
his servants
to Jerusalem
while he was besieging
Lachish
with
all
his forces
with him, against
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
and against
all
Judah
who
were at Jerusalem,
saying,
10
"Thus
says
Sennacherib
king
of Assyria,
'On what
are you trusting
that you are remaining
in Jerusalem
under siege?
11
'
Is not Hezekiah
misleading
you to give
yourselves over to die
by hunger
and by thirst,
saying,
"The LORD
our God
will deliver
us from the hand
of the king
of Assyria "?
12
'
Has not the same
Hezekiah
taken away
His high places
and His altars,
and said
to Judah
and Jerusalem,
"You shall worship
before
one
altar,
and on it you shall burn incense "?
13
'
Do you not know
what
I and my fathers
have done
to all
the peoples
of the lands
?
Were the gods
of the nations
of the lands
able at all
to deliver
their land
from my hand?
14
Who
was there among all
the gods
of those
nations
which
my fathers
utterly destroyed
who
could
deliver
his people
out of my hand,
that your God
should be able
to
deliver
you from my hand?
15
'
Now
therefore, do not let Hezekiah
deceive
you or mislead
you like this,
and do not believe
him, for no
god
of any
nation
or kingdom
was able
to
deliver
his people
from my hand
or from the hand
of my fathers.
How much
less
will your God
deliver
you
from my hand
?'"
16
His servant
s
spoke
further
against
the LORD
God
and
against
His servant
Hezekiah.
17
He al
so
wrote
letters
to insult
the LORD
God
of Israel,
and to speak
against
Him, saying,
"As the gods
of the nations
of the lands
have not delivered
their people
from my hand,
so
the
God
of Hezekiah
will not deliver
His people
from my hand."
18
They called
this out with a loud
voice
in the language of Judah
to the people
of Jerusalem
who
were on the wall,
to frighten
and terrify
them, so
that they might take
the city.
19
They spoke
of the God
of Jerusalem
as of the gods
of the peoples
of the earth,
the work
of men's
hands.
20
But King
Hezekiah
and Isaiah
the prophet,
the son
of Amoz,
prayed
about
this
and cried
out to heaven.
21
And the LORD
sent
an angel
who destroyed
every
mighty warrior,
commander
and officer
in the camp
of the king
of Assyria.
So he returned
in shame
to his own land.
And when he had entered
the temple
of his god,
some
of his own
children
killed
him there
with the sword.
22
So the LORD
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.
23
And many
were bringing
gifts
to the LORD
at Jerusalem
and choice presents
to Hezekiah
king
of Judah,
so that he was exalted
in the sight
of all
nations
thereafter.
24
In those
days
Hezekiah
became
mortally
ill;
and he prayed
to the LORD,
and the LORD spoke
to him and gave
him a sign.
25
But Hezekiah
gave
no
return
for the benefit
he received,
because
his heart
was proud;
therefore wrath
came
on him and on Judah
and Jerusalem.
26
However, Hezekiah
humbled
the pride
of his heart,
both he and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem,
so that the wrath
of the LORD
did not come
on them in the days
of Hezekiah.
27
Now Hezekiah
had
immense
riches
and honor;
and he made
for himself treasuries
for silver,
gold,
precious
stones,
spices,
shields
and all
kinds of valuable
articles,
28
storehouses
also for the produce
of grain,
wine
and oil,
pens
for all
kinds
of cattle
and sheepfolds
for the flocks.
29
He made
cities
for himself and acquired
flocks
and herds
in abundance,
for God
had given
him very
great
wealth.
30
It was Hezekiah
who stopped
the upper
outlet
of the waters
of Gihon
and directed
them to the west side
of the city
of David.
And Hezekiah
prospered
in all
that he did.
31
Even
in the matter of the envoys
of the rulers
of Babylon,
who sent
to him to inquire
of the wonder
that had happened
in the land,
God
left
him alone only to test
him, that He might know
all
that was in his heart.
32
Now the rest
of the acts
of Hezekiah
and his deeds of devotion,
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.
33
So Hezekiah
slept
with his fathers,
and they buried
him in the upper section
of the tombs
of the sons
of David;
and all
Judah
and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
honored
him at his death.
And his son
Manasseh
became king
in his place.
