2nd Chronicles Chapter 32 - King James Strong Number Version

1: After <H0310> these things, <H1697> and the establishment <H0571> thereof, Sennacherib <H5576> king <H4428> of Assyria <H0804> came, <H0935> and entered <H0935> into Judah, <H3063> and encamped <H2583> against the fenced <H1219> cities, <H5892> and thought <H0559> to win <H1234> them for himself.
2: And when Hezekiah <H3169> saw <H7200> that Sennacherib <H5576> was come, <H0935> and that he was purposed <H6440> to fight <H4421> against Jerusalem, <H3389>
3: He took counsel <H3289> with his princes <H8269> and his mighty men <H1368> to stop <H5640> the waters <H4325> of the fountains <H5869> which [were] without <H2351> the city: <H5892> and they did help <H5826> him.
4: So there was gathered much <H7227> people <H5971> together, <H6908> who stopped <H5640> all the fountains, <H4599> and the brook <H5158> that ran <H7857> through the midst <H8432> of the land, <H0776> saying, <H0559> Why should the kings <H4428> of Assyria <H0804> come, <H0935> and find <H4672> much <H7227> water? <H4325>
5: Also he strengthened <H2388> himself, and built up <H1129> all the wall <H2346> that was broken, <H6555> and raised [it] up <H5927> to the towers, <H4026> and another <H0312> wall <H2346> without, <H2351> and repaired <H2388> Millo <H4407> [in] the city <H5892> of David, <H1732> and made <H6213> darts <H7973> and shields <H4043> in abundance. <H7230>
6: And he set <H5414> captains <H8269> of war <H4421> over the people, <H5971> and gathered them together <H6908> to him in the street <H7339> of the gate <H8179> of the city, <H5892> and spake <H1696> comfortably <H3824> to them, saying, <H0559>
7: Be strong <H2388> and courageous, <H0553> be not afraid <H3372> nor dismayed <H2865> for <H6440> the king <H4428> of Assyria, <H0804> nor for <H6440> all the multitude <H1995> that [is] with him: for [there be] more <H7227> with us than with him:
8: With him [is] an arm <H2220> of flesh; <H1320> but with us [is] the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> to help <H5826> us, and to fight <H3898> our battles. <H4421> And the people <H5971> rested <H5564> themselves upon the words <H1697> of Hezekiah <H3169> king <H4428> of Judah. <H3063>
9: After <H0310> this did Sennacherib <H5576> king <H4428> of Assyria <H0804> send <H7971> his servants <H5650> to Jerusalem, <H3389> (but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish, <H3923> and all his power <H4475> with him,) unto Hezekiah <H3169> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> and unto all Judah <H3063> that [were] at Jerusalem, <H3389> saying, <H0559>
10: Thus saith <H0559> Sennacherib <H5576> king <H4428> of Assyria, <H0804> Whereon do ye trust, <H0982> that ye abide <H3427> in the siege <H4692> in Jerusalem? <H3389>
11: Doth not Hezekiah <H3169> persuade <H5496> you to give <H5414> over yourselves to die <H4191> by famine <H7458> and by thirst, <H6772> saying, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> shall deliver <H5337> us out of the hand <H3709> of the king <H4428> of Assyria? <H0804>
12: Hath not the same Hezekiah <H3169> taken away <H5493> his high places <H1116> and his altars, <H4196> and commanded <H0559> Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> saying, <H0559> Ye shall worship <H7812> before <H6440> one <H0259> altar, <H4196> and burn incense <H6999> upon it?
13: Know <H3045> ye not what I and my fathers <H0001> have done <H6213> unto all the people <H5971> of [other] lands? <H0776> were the gods <H0430> of the nations <H1471> of those lands <H0776> any ways <H3201> able <H3201> to deliver <H5337> their lands <H0776> out of mine hand? <H3027>
14: Who [was there] among all the gods <H0430> of those nations <H1471> that my fathers <H0001> utterly destroyed, <H2763> that could <H3201> deliver <H5337> his people <H5971> out of mine hand, <H3027> that your God <H0430> should be able <H3201> to deliver <H5337> you out of mine hand? <H3027>
15: Now therefore let not <H0408> Hezekiah <H2396> deceive <H5377> you, nor <H0408> persuade <H5496> you on this manner, neither <H0408> yet believe <H0539> him: for no <H3808> god <H0433> of any nation <H1471> or kingdom <H4467> was able <H3201> to deliver <H5337> his people <H5971> out of mine hand, <H3027> and out of the hand <H3027> of my fathers: <H0001> how much less <H3808> shall your God <H0430> deliver <H5337> you out of mine hand? <H3027>
16: And his servants <H5650> spake <H1696> yet [more] against the LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> and against his servant <H5650> Hezekiah. <H3169>
17: He wrote <H3789> also letters <H5612> to rail <H2778> on the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> and to speak <H0559> against him, saying, <H0559> As the gods <H0430> of the nations <H1471> of [other] lands <H0776> have not delivered <H5337> their people <H5971> out of mine hand, <H3027> so shall not the God <H0430> of Hezekiah <H3169> deliver <H5337> his people <H5971> out of mine hand. <H3027>
18: Then they cried <H7121> with a loud <H1419> voice <H6963> in the Jews' speech <H3066> unto the people <H5971> of Jerusalem <H3389> that [were] on the wall, <H2346> to affright <H3372> them, and to trouble <H0926> them; that they might take <H3920> the city. <H5892>
19: And they spake <H1696> against the God <H0430> of Jerusalem, <H3389> as against <H5921> the gods <H0430> of the people <H5971> of the earth, <H0776> [which were] the work <H4639> of the hands <H3027> of man. <H0120>
20: And for this [cause] Hezekiah <H3169> the king, <H4428> and the prophet <H5030> Isaiah <H3470> the son <H1121> of Amoz, <H0531> prayed <H6419> and cried <H2199> to heaven. <H8064>
21: And the LORD <H3068> sent <H7971> an angel, <H4397> which cut off <H3582> all the mighty men <H1368> of valour, <H2428> and the leaders <H5057> and captains <H8269> in the camp <H4264> of the king <H4428> of Assyria. <H0804> So he returned <H7725> with shame <H1322> of face <H6440> to his own land. <H0776> And when he was come <H0935> into the house <H1004> of his god, <H0430> they that came forth <H3329> of his own bowels <H4578> slew <H5307> him there with the sword. <H2719>
22: Thus the LORD <H3068> saved <H3467> Hezekiah <H3169> and the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem <H3389> from the hand <H3027> of Sennacherib <H5576> the king <H4428> of Assyria, <H0804> and from the hand <H3027> of all [other], and guided <H5095> them on every side. <H5439>
23: And many <H7227> brought <H0935> gifts <H4503> unto the LORD <H3068> to Jerusalem, <H3389> and presents <H4030> to Hezekiah <H3169> king <H4428> of Judah: <H3063> so that he was magnified <H5375> in the sight <H5869> of all nations <H1471> from thenceforth. <H0310>
24: In those days <H3117> Hezekiah <H3169> was sick <H2470> to the death, <H4191> and prayed <H6419> unto the LORD: <H3068> and he spake <H0559> unto him, and he gave <H5414> him a sign. <H4159>
25: But Hezekiah <H3169> rendered not again <H7725> according to the benefit <H1576> [done] unto him; for his heart <H3820> was lifted up: <H1361> therefore there was wrath <H7110> upon him, and upon Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem. <H3389>
26: Notwithstanding Hezekiah <H3169> humbled <H3665> himself for the pride <H1363> of his heart, <H3820> [both] he and the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem, <H3389> so that the wrath <H7110> of the LORD <H3068> came <H0935> not upon them in the days <H3117> of Hezekiah. <H3169>
27: And Hezekiah <H3169> had exceeding <H3966> much <H7235> riches <H6239> and honour: <H3519> and he made <H6213> himself treasuries <H0214> for silver, <H3701> and for gold, <H2091> and for precious <H3368> stones, <H0068> and for spices, <H1314> and for shields, <H4043> and for all manner of pleasant <H2532> jewels; <H3627>
28: Storehouses <H4543> also for the increase <H8393> of corn, <H1715> and wine, <H8492> and oil; <H3323> and stalls <H0723> for all manner of beasts, <H0929> <H0929> and cotes <H0220> for flocks. <H5739>
29: Moreover he provided <H6213> him cities, <H5892> and possessions <H4735> of flocks <H6629> and herds <H1241> in abundance: <H7230> for God <H0430> had given <H5414> him substance <H7399> very <H3966> much. <H7227>
30: This same Hezekiah <H3169> also stopped <H5640> the upper <H5945> watercourse <H4161> <H4325> of Gihon, <H1521> and brought it straight <H3474> down <H4295> to the west side <H4628> of the city <H5892> of David. <H1732> And Hezekiah <H3169> prospered <H6743> in all his works. <H4639>
31: Howbeit <H3651> in [the business of] the ambassadors <H3887> of the princes <H8269> of Babylon, <H0894> who sent <H7971> unto him to enquire <H1875> of the wonder <H4159> that was [done] in the land, <H0776> God <H0430> left <H5800> him, to try <H5254> him, that he might know <H3045> all [that was] in his heart. <H3824>
32: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Hezekiah, <H3169> and his goodness, <H2617> behold, they [are] written <H3789> in the vision <H2377> of Isaiah <H3470> the prophet, <H5030> the son <H1121> of Amoz, <H0531> [and] in the book <H5612> of the kings <H4428> of Judah <H3063> and Israel. <H3478>
33: And Hezekiah <H3169> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and they buried <H6912> him in the chiefest <H4608> of the sepulchres <H6913> of the sons <H1121> of David: <H1732> and all Judah <H3063> and the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem <H3389> did <H6213> him honour <H3519> at his death. <H4194> And Manasseh <H4519> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
