2 Chronicles 32

1 Sennacherib invading Judah, Hezekiah fortifieth himself, and encourageth his people. 9 Against the blasphemies of Sennacherib, by message and letters, Hezekiah and Isaiah pray. 21 An angel destroyeth the host of the Assyrians, to the glory of Hezekiah. 24 Hezekiah praying in his sickness, God giveth him a sign of recovery. 25 He waxing proud is humbled by God. 27 His wealth and works. 31 His error in the embassage of Babylon. 32 He dying, Manasseh succeedeth him.

 32:1 ¶ After 310 these x428 things, 1697 and the establishment 571 thereof, Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804 came, 935 z8804 and entered 935 z8799 into Judah, 3063 and encamped 2583 z8799 against x5921 the fenced 1219 z8803 cities, 5892 and thought 559 z8799 to win 1234 z8800 them for x413 himself.

 32:2 And when Hezekiah 3169 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 Sennacherib 5576 was come, 935 z8804 and that he was purposed 6440 to fight 4421 against x5921 Jerusalem, 3389

 32:3 He took counsel 3289 z8735 with x5973 his princes 8269 and his mighty men 1368 to stop 5640 z8800 x853 the waters 4325 of the fountains 5869 which x834 [were] without 2351 x4480 the city: 5892 and they did help 5826 z8799 him.

 32:4 So there was gathered 6908 z0 much 7227 people 5971 together, y6908 z8735 who stopped 5640 z8799 x853 all x3605 the fountains, 4599 and the brook 5158 that ran 7857 z8802 through the midst 8432 of the land, 776 saying, 559 z8800 Why x4100 should the kings 4428 of Assyria 804 come, 935 z8799 and find 4672 z8804 much 7227 water? 4325

 32:5 Also he strengthened y2388 z8691 himself, x2388 and built up 1129 z8799 x853 all x3605 the wall 2346 that was broken, 6555 z8803 and raised [it] up 5927 z8686 to x5921 the towers, 4026 and another 312 wall 2346 without, 2351 and repaired 2388 z8762 x853 Millo 4407 [in] the city 5892 of David, 1732 and made 6213 z8799 darts 7973 and shields 4043 in abundance. 7230

 32:6 And he set 5414 z8799 captains 8269 of war 4421 over x5921 the people, 5971 and gathered them together 6908 z8799 to x413 him in x413 the street 7339 of the gate 8179 of the city, 5892 and spake 1696 z8762 comfortably 3824 x5921 to them, saying, 559 z8800

 32:7 Be strong 2388 z8798 and courageous, 553 z8798 be not afraid 3372 z8799 x408 nor x408 dismayed 2865 z8735 for 6440 x4480 the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 nor for x4480 x6440 all x3605 the multitude 1995 that x834 [is] with x5973 him: for x3588 [there be] more 7227 with x5973 us than with x4480 x5973 him:

 32:8 With x5973 him [is] an arm 2220 of flesh; 1320 but with x5973 us [is] the LORD 3068 our God 430 to help 5826 z8800 us, and to fight 3898 z8736 our battles. 4421 And the people 5971 rested y5564 z8735 themselves x5564 upon x5921 the words 1697 of Hezekiah 3169 king 4428 of Judah. 3063

 32:9 ¶ After 310 this x2088 did Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804 send 7971 z8804 his servants 5650 to Jerusalem, 3389 (but he x1931 [himself laid siege] against x5921 Lachish, 3923 and all x3605 his power 4475 with x5973 him,) unto x5921 Hezekiah 3169 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 and unto x5921 all x3605 Judah 3063 that x834 [were] at Jerusalem, 3389 saying, 559 z8800

 32:10 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria, 804 Whereon x5921 x4100 do ye x859 trust, 982 z8802 that ye abide 3427 z8802 in the siege 4692 in Jerusalem? 3389

 32:11 Doth not x3808 Hezekiah 3169 persuade 5496 z8688 you to give y5414 z8800 over x5414 yourselves to die 4191 z8800 by famine 7458 and by thirst, 6772 saying, 559 z8800 The LORD 3068 our God 430 shall deliver 5337 z8686 us out of the hand 3709 x4480 of the king 4428 of Assyria? 804

 32:12 Hath not x3808 the same x1931 Hezekiah 3169 taken away 5493 z8689 x853 his high places 1116 and his altars, 4196 and commanded 559 z8799 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem, 3389 saying, 559 z8800 Ye shall worship 7812 z8691 before 6440 one 259 altar, 4196 and burn incense 6999 z8686 upon x5921 it?

 32:13 Know 3045 z8799 ye not x3808 what x4100 I x589 and my fathers 1 have done 6213 z8804 unto all x3605 the people 5971 of [other] lands? 776 were the gods 430 of the nations 1471 of those lands 776 any ways y3201 z8800 able 3201 z8804 to deliver 5337 z8687 x853 their lands 776 out of mine hand? 3027 x4480

 32:14 Who x4310 [was there] among all x3605 the gods 430 of those x428 nations 1471 that x834 my fathers 1 utterly destroyed, 2763 z8689 that x834 could 3201 z8804 deliver 5337 z8687 x853 his people 5971 out of mine hand, 3027 x4480 that x3588 your God 430 should be able 3201 z8799 to deliver 5337 z8687 you out of mine hand? 3027 x4480

 32:15 Now x6258 therefore let not y3808 x408 Hezekiah 2396 deceive 5377 z8686 you, nor x408 persuade 5496 z8686 you on this manner, x2063 neither x408 yet believe 539 z8686 him: for x3588 no x3808 x3605 god 433 of any x3605 nation 1471 or kingdom 4467 was able 3201 z8799 to deliver 5337 z8687 his people 5971 out of mine hand, 3027 x4480 and out of the hand 3027 x4480 of my fathers: 1 how much less x637 x3588 shall your God 430 deliver 5337 z8686 you out of mine hand? 3027 x4480

 32:16 And his servants 5650 spake 1696 z8765 yet x5750 [more] against x5921 the LORD 3068 God, 430 and against x5921 his servant 5650 Hezekiah. 3169

 32:17 He wrote 3789 z8804 also letters 5612 to rail 2778 z8763 on the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 and to speak 559 z8800 against x5921 him, saying, 559 z8800 As the gods 430 of the nations 1471 of [other] lands 776 have not x3808 delivered 5337 z8689 their people 5971 out of mine hand, 3027 x4480 so x3651 shall not x3808 the God 430 of Hezekiah 3169 deliver 5337 z8686 his people 5971 out of mine hand. 3027 x4480

 32:18 Then they cried 7121 z8799 with a loud 1419 voice 6963 in the Jews' speech 3066 unto x5921 the people 5971 of Jerusalem 3389 that x834 [were] on x5921 the wall, 2346 to affright 3372 z8763 them, and to trouble 926 z8763 them; that x4616 they might take 3920 z8799 x853 the city. 5892

 32:19 And they spake 1696 z8762 against y5921 x413 the God 430 of Jerusalem, 3389 as against x5921 the gods 430 of the people 5971 of the earth, 776 [which were] the work 4639 of the hands 3027 of man. 120

 32:20 And for x5921 this x2063 [cause] Hezekiah 3169 the king, 4428 and the prophet 5030 Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz, 531 prayed 6419 z8691 and cried 2199 z8799 to heaven. 8064

 32:21 ¶ And the LORD 3068 sent 7971 z8799 an angel, 4397 which cut off 3582 z8686 all x3605 the mighty men 1368 of valour, 2428 and the leaders 5057 and captains 8269 in the camp 4264 of the king 4428 of Assyria. 804 So he returned 7725 z8799 with shame 1322 of face 6440 to his own land. 776 And when he was come y935 z8799 into x935 the house 1004 of his god, 430 they that came forth 3329 x4480 of his own bowels 4578 slew 5307 z8689 him there x8033 with the sword. 2719

 32:22 Thus the LORD 3068 saved 3467 z8686 x853 Hezekiah 3169 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem 3389 from the hand 3027 x4480 of Sennacherib 5576 the king 4428 of Assyria, 804 and from the hand 3027 x4480 of all x3605 [other], and guided 5095 z8762 them on every side. 5439 x4480

 32:23 And many 7227 brought 935 z8688 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 z8735 in the sight 5869 of all x3605 nations 1471 from thenceforth. 310 x4480 x3651

 32:24 ¶ In those x1992 days 3117 Hezekiah 3169 was sick 2470 z8804 to x5704 the death, 4191 z8800 and prayed 6419 z8691 unto x413 the LORD: 3068 and he spake 559 z8799 unto him, and he gave 5414 z8804 him a sign. 4159

 32:25 But Hezekiah 3169 rendered not again 7725 z8689 x3808 according to the benefit 1576 [done] unto x5921 him; for x3588 his heart 3820 was lifted up: 1361 z8804 therefore there was x1961 wrath 7110 upon x5921 him, and upon x5921 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem. 3389

 32:26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah 3169 humbled y3665 z8735 himself x3665 for the pride 1363 of his heart, 3820 [both] he x1931 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem, 3389 so that the wrath 7110 of the LORD 3068 came 935 z8804 not x3808 upon x5921 them in the days 3117 of Hezekiah. 3169

 32:27 ¶ And Hezekiah 3169 had x1961 exceeding 3966 much 7235 z8687 riches 6239 and honour: 3519 and he made 6213 z8804 himself treasuries 214 for silver, 3701 and for gold, 2091 and for precious 3368 stones, 68 and for spices, 1314 and for shields, 4043 and for all manner x3605 of pleasant 2532 jewels; 3627

 32:28 Storehouses 4543 also for the increase 8393 of corn, 1715 and wine, 8492 and oil; 3323 and stalls 723 for all manner x3605 of beasts, 929 and cotes 220 for flocks. 5739

 32:29 Moreover he provided 6213 z8804 him cities, 5892 and possessions 4735 of flocks 6629 and herds 1241 in abundance: 7230 for x3588 God 430 had given 5414 z8804 him substance 7399 very 3966 much. 7227

 32:30 This same x1931 Hezekiah 3169 also stopped 5640 z8804 x853 the upper 5945 watercourse 4161 4325 of Gihon, 1521 and brought it straight 3474 z8762 down 4295 to the west side 4628 of the city 5892 of David. 1732 And Hezekiah 3169 prospered 6743 z8686 in all x3605 his works. 4639

 32:31 ¶ Howbeit 3651 in [the business of] the ambassadors 3887 z8688 of the princes 8269 of Babylon, 894 who sent 7971 z8764 unto x5921 him to enquire y1875 z8800 of x1875 the wonder 4159 that x834 was x1961 [done] in the land, 776 God 430 left 5800 z8804 him, to try 5254 z8763 him, that he might know 3045 z8800 all x3605 [that was] in his heart. 3824

 32:32 ¶ Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Hezekiah, 3169 and his goodness, 2617 behold, x2009 they [are] written 3789 z8803 in the vision 2377 of Isaiah 3470 the prophet, 5030 the son 1121 of Amoz, 531 [and] in x5921 the book 5612 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 and Israel. 3478

 32:33 And Hezekiah 3169 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and they buried 6912 z8799 him in the chiefest 4608 of the sepulchres 6913 of the sons 1121 of David: 1732 and all x3605 Judah 3063 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem 3389 did x6213 him y6213 z8804 honour 3519 at his death. 4194 And Manasseh 4519 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478
