II Chronicles 32

1After these things, and their establishment, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.

4So there was gathered many 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?

2 Chronicles 32:30, 2 Chronicles 32:30, 2 Kings 20:20, Isaiah 10:8, 1 Kings 3:9

5Also 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 weapons and shields in abundance.

2 Chronicles 25:23, 2 Chronicles 25:23, 1 Kings 9:24, 1 Kings 9:24, 2 Samuel 5:9

6And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and encouraged them, saying,

2 Chronicles 30:22, 2 Chronicles 30:22, Isaiah 40:2, Isaiah 40:2, Ezra 10:9

7Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are more with us than with him:

2 Kings 6:16, 2 Kings 6:16, Romans 8:31, Romans 8:31, Ephesians 6:10

8With 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.

Jeremiah 17:5, Jeremiah 17:5, 2 Chronicles 20:17, 2 Chronicles 20:15, 2 Chronicles 20:17

9After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

2 Kings 18:17, Joshua 10:31, 2 Kings 18:17, Joshua 10:31, Joshua 15:39

10Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, On what do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

2 Kings 18:19, Isaiah 36:4, 2 Kings 18:19, Isaiah 36:4

11Doth 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?

Psalms 71:11, Psalms 3:2, Isaiah 36:18, 2 Kings 18:27, 2 Kings 19:10

12Hath 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?

2 Chronicles 31:1, 2 Chronicles 31:1, 2 Chronicles 4:1, 1 Kings 7:48, Exodus 30:1

13Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of my hand?

2 Kings 18:33, 2 Kings 18:35, 2 Kings 18:33, 2 Kings 18:35, Jeremiah 10:16

14Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?

Isaiah 10:11, Isaiah 10:12, Exodus 14:3, Exodus 15:9, Exodus 15:11

15Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?

Daniel 3:15, Exodus 5:2, Daniel 3:15, Exodus 5:2, Isaiah 36:18

16And his servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

John 15:21, Job 15:25, Job 15:26, Psalms 73:9, John 15:21

17He wrote also letters to rail at 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 my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.

Isaiah 37:14, 2 Kings 19:12, Isaiah 37:28, Isaiah 37:29, Isaiah 37:14

18Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ speech to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to make them afraid, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

1 Samuel 17:10, Nehemiah 6:9, Isaiah 36:13, 2 Kings 18:26, 2 Kings 18:28

19And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the work of the hands of man.

Isaiah 2:8, 2 Kings 19:18, Isaiah 2:8, 2 Kings 19:18, Psalms 135:15

20And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

Psalms 91:14, Psalms 91:15, Psalms 91:14, Psalms 91:15, 2 Kings 19:2

21And the LORD sent an angel, who 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 had come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

Psalms 76:5, Isaiah 37:36, Isaiah 37:38, Psalms 76:5, Isaiah 37:36

22Thus 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.

24In those days Hezekiah was sick and near to death, and he prayed to the LORD: and he spoke to him, and he gave him a sign.

2 Kings 20:1, 2 Kings 20:11, Isaiah 38:1, Isaiah 38:8, 2 Kings 20:1

25But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 24:18, 2 Chronicles 24:18, 2 Chronicles 26:16, 2 Chronicles 26:16, 2 Samuel 24:1

26However 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.

Jeremiah 26:18, Jeremiah 26:19, Jeremiah 26:18, Jeremiah 26:19, 2 Chronicles 33:12

27And Hezekiah had very great 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;

2 Chronicles 17:5, 2 Chronicles 9:27, 1 Chronicles 27:25, 1 Chronicles 27:31, Proverbs 10:22

28Storehouses also for the increase of grain, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and sheepfolds for flocks.

1 Kings 4:26, 2 Chronicles 26:10, 2 Samuel 7:8, 1 Kings 4:26, 2 Chronicles 26:10

29Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance in great abundance.

1 Chronicles 29:12, 1 Chronicles 29:12, 1 Chronicles 27:29, 1 Chronicles 27:31, Deuteronomy 8:18

30This 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.

1 Kings 1:33, 1 Kings 1:33, 2 Chronicles 32:4, Joshua 1:7, Joshua 1:8

31But in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to enquire 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.

Deuteronomy 8:2, Deuteronomy 8:2, 2 Chronicles 32:24, Proverbs 17:3, Genesis 22:1

32Now 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.
