King James Version
After these things and this
truth
, come
hath
Sennacherib king of Asshur,
yea
, he
cometh
in
to
Judah, and encampeth
against the cities of
the
bulwarks
, and saith
to rend
them unto
himself.
After these things ,
and the
establishment
thereof
, Sennacherib king of Assyria
came
, and
entered
into
Judah, and encamped
against the fenced
cities, and thought
to win
them for
himself.
And Hezekiah seeth
that Sennacherib hath
come, and his
face
`is'
to the
battle
against Jerusalem,
And when
Hezekiah saw
that Sennacherib was
come, and that
he
was
purposed
to fight
against Jerusalem,
and
he taketh
counsel with his heads
and his mighty ones,
to stop the waters of the fountains that
`are'
at
the
outside
of
the city --
and they help him ,
He took
counsel with his princes
and his mighty men
to stop the waters of the fountains which
were
without
the city :
and they did
help him .
and
much people are
gathered
, and
they
stop
all the fountains and the brook that is
rushing
into
the midst of the land, saying, `
Why do
the kings of Asshur
come, and have
found
much water? '
So
there
was
gathered
much 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?
And
he strengtheneth
himself, and buildeth
the
whole
of
the wall that is
broken, and causeth
`
it '
to ascend
unto
the towers, and at
the
outside
of
the
wall
another, and strengtheneth
Millo ,
`
in '
the city of David, and maketh
darts in
abundance,
and shields.
Also
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
darts and shields in
abundance
.
And he putteth
heads
of war over the people, and gathereth
them unto
him ,
unto
the broad
place
of a
gate of the city, and speaketh
unto
their
heart
, saying,
And he set
captains
of war over the people, and gathered
them together
to
him in
the street
of the
gate of the city, and spake
comfortably
to
them
, saying,
`
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid ,
nor be
cast
down
from
the
face
of
the king of Asshur
, and
from
the
face
of
all the multitude that `
is '
with him ,
for with us `are'
more
than with him .
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed
for
the king of Assyria
, nor
for
all the multitude that is with him :
for there
be
more
with us than with him :
With him `
is '
an arm of flesh ,
and
with us `
is '
Jehovah
our God ,
to help us, and to fight our battles ;'
and the people are
supported
by
the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
With 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.
After this hath
Sennacherib king of Asshur
sent
his servants to Jerusalem --
and
he `is'
by
Lachish, and all his power with him --
against
Hezekiah king of Judah, and against
all Judah ,
who
`are'
in
Jerusalem, saying,
After this did
Sennacherib king of Assyria
send
his servants to Jerusalem ,
(but
he himself
laid
siege
against
Lachish, and all his power with him ,)
unto
Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto
all Judah that
were
at
Jerusalem, saying,
`
Thus said
Sennacherib king of Asshur
, On
what
are
ye trusting
and
abiding
in the bulwark,
in Jerusalem?
Thus saith
Sennacherib king of Assyria
, Whereon
do
ye trust,
that
ye
abide
in the siege
in Jerusalem?
`Is
not Hezekiah persuading
you ,
to give you
up
to die by famine ,
and by thirst, saying, Jehovah
our God doth
deliver us from
the hand of the king of Asshur
?
Doth
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
?
Hath not Hezekiah himself
turned
aside
His high places ,
and His altars, and speaketh
to
Judah and to
Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar ye
bow
yourselves
, and on
it ye
make
perfume
?
Hath 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?
`Do
ye not know
what I have
done
--
I
and my fathers --
to
all peoples
of
the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the
lands at
all
able to deliver their land
out of my
hand?
Know
ye not what I and my fathers have
done
unto
all the people
of
other
lands? were the gods of the nations of those
lands any
ways
able to deliver their lands
out of mine
hand?
Who among all the gods of these
nations whom
my fathers have
devoted
to
destruction
`is'
he
who
hath
been
able
to
deliver his people out of my
hand, that your God is
able to deliver you out of my
hand?
Who was
there
among all the gods of those
nations that
my fathers utterly
destroyed,
that
could
deliver his people out of mine
hand, that your God should
be
able to deliver you out of mine
hand?
`And,
now ,
let not Hezekiah lift
you up
, nor persuade you thus
, nor
give
credence
to
him ,
for no god of any nation and
kingdom is
able to deliver his people from
my
hand, and from
the hand of my fathers: also,
surely
your God doth
not
deliver you from
my
hand !'
Now therefore
let not Hezekiah deceive
you, nor persuade you on
this
manner
, neither
yet
believe
him :
for no god of any nation or
kingdom was
able to deliver his people out
of
mine
hand, and out
of
the hand of my fathers: how
much
less
shall
your God deliver you out
of
mine
hand ?
And again
have
his servants spoken
against Jehovah
God, and against Hezekiah
His servant ,
And his servants spake
yet
more
against the
LORD
God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
and
letters
he hath
written
to
give
reproach
to Jehovah,
God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, `
As the gods of the nations of the
lands that
have not delivered their people from
my
hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth
not
deliver His people from
my
hand. '
He wrote
also
letters
to rail
on
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
mine
hand, so shall
not
the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out
of
mine
hand.
And
they call
with a great
voice `
in' Jewish,
against
the people of Jerusalem who
`are'
on the wall, to frighten
them, and to trouble them ,
that they may
capture
the city ,
Then
they cried
with a loud
voice in the
Jews
' speech
unto
the people of Jerusalem that
were
on the wall, to affright
them, and to trouble them ;
that they might
take
the city .
and they speak
against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples
of the land
--
work of the hands of man.
And they spake
against the God of Jerusalem ,
as against the gods of the people
of the earth,
which
were
the
work of the hands of man.
And Hezekiah the king prayeth
, and Isaiah son of Amoz the
prophet
, concerning
this,
and they
cry
to the
heavens,
And for
this
cause
Hezekiah the king, and the
prophet
Isaiah the
son of Amoz, prayed
and cried
to heaven.
and Jehovah
sendeth
a
messenger
, and
cutteth
off every
mighty one
of valour
--
both
leader
and head
--
in the camp of the king of Asshur,
and
he turneth
back
with shame of face to his land ,
and entereth
the house of his god, and
those
coming
out
of his bowels have
caused
him to
fall
there by
the sword.
And the
LORD
sent
an
angel
, which
cut
off all
the
mighty men
of valor,
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
was
come
into
the house of his god, they
that
came
forth
of his own
bowels slew
him there with
the sword.
And
Jehovah
saveth
Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur
, and from the hand of all, and He
leadeth
them round
about;
Thus
the
LORD
saved
Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the
king of Assyria
, and from the hand of all other
, and guided
them on
every
side.
and many are
bringing
in
an
offering
to
Jehovah,
to Jerusalem, and precious
things
to Hezekiah king of Judah ,
and
he is
lifted
up
before
the eyes
of all the
nations after
this
.
And many brought
gifts
unto
the
LORD
to Jerusalem, and presents
to Hezekiah king of Judah :
so
that
he was
magnified
in
the sight
of all nations from
thenceforth
.
In those days hath
Hezekiah been
sick even
unto
death, and he
prayeth
unto Jehovah,
and He speaketh
to
him, and a
wonder
hath
appointed
for
him ;
In those days Hezekiah was
sick to
the
death, and prayed
unto the
LORD:
and he spake
unto
him, and he
gave
him a
sign.
and
Hezekiah hath
not returned
according to the deed
`
done '
unto him ,
for his heart hath
been
lofty,
and
there is
wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem ;
But
Hezekiah rendered
not again
according to the benefit
done unto him ;
for his heart was
lifted
up:
therefore
there was
wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem .
and
Hezekiah is
humbled for the loftiness
of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
the wrath of Jehovah
hath
not come
upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
Notwithstanding
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.
And Hezekiah hath
riches and honour
very
much,
and treasures
he hath
made to
himself of
silver, and of
gold, and of
precious stone
, and of
spices, and of
shields, and of
all `kinds'
of desirable
vessels,
And Hezekiah had
exceeding
much
riches and honor:
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;
and
storehouses for the increase of corn, and new
wine, and oil ,
and stalls for all kinds
of cattle
, and herds
for stalls;
Storehouses also
for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil ;
and stalls for all manner
of beasts
, and cotes
for flocks.
and
cities
he hath
made
for
himself
, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance ,
for God hath
given to
him very much substance
.
Moreover
he provided
him
cities
, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance :
for God had
given him substance
very much.
And
Hezekiah himself
hath
stopped the upper source
of
the
waters
of Gihon, and directeth
them
beneath
to the west of the city of David ,
and Hezekiah prospereth
in all his work;
This
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.
and
so
with
the ambassadors of the heads
of Babylon, those
sending
unto him to inquire
of the wonder that hath
been
in the land, God hath
left him to try him, to
know all in his heart ,
Howbeit
in
the business
of
the
ambassadors of the princes
of Babylon, who
sent
unto 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 .
And
the rest of the matters
of Hezekiah, and his kind
acts
, lo
, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the
prophet
, on
the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Now
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.
And Hezekiah lieth
with his fathers, and they bury
him in the uppermost
of the graves
of the sons of David ,
and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have
done
honour
to
him at his death ,
and reign
doth
Manasseh his son in his stead.
And Hezekiah slept
with his fathers, and they buried
him in the chiefest
of the sepulchres
of the sons of David :
and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did
him honor
at his death .
And Manasseh his son reigned
in his stead.
