1 After H310 PREP these H428 D-DPRO-3MP things H1697 AMP , and the establishment H571 thereof , Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS came H935 VQPMS , and entered H935 W-VQY3MS into Judah H3063 , and encamped H2583 against H5921 PREP the fenced H1219 cities H5892 , and thought H559 W-VQY3MS to win H1234 them for H413 himself .
2 And when Hezekiah H3169 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ Sennacherib H5576 was come H935 , and that he was purposed H6440 to fight H4421 against H5921 PREP Jerusalem H3389 ,
3 He took counsel H3289 with H5973 PREP his princes H8269 CMP-3MS and his mighty men H1368 to stop H5640 the waters H4325 of the fountains H5869 which H834 RPRO were without H2351 the city H5892 L-NMS : and they did help H5826 him .
4 So there was gathered H6908 much H7227 AMS people H5971 NMS together , who stopped H5640 all H3605 NMS the fountains H4599 , and the brook H5158 that ran H7857 through the midst H8432 B-NMS of the land H776 D-GFS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Why H4100 L-IPRO should the kings H4428 CMP of Assyria H804 GFS come H935 , and find H4672 much H7227 AMP water H4325 OMD ?
5 Also he strengthened himself H2388 , and built up H1129 W-VQY3MS all H3605 NMS the wall H2346 that was broken H6555 , and raised it up H5927 W-VHY3MS to H5921 PREP the towers H4026 , and another H312 wall H2346 without H2351 , and repaired H2388 Millo H4407 in the city H5892 GFS of David H1732 , and made H6213 W-VQY3MS darts H7973 and shields H4043 in abundance H7230 LD-NMS .
6 And he set H5414 W-VQQ3MS captains H8269 CMP of war H4421 over H5921 PREP the people H5971 , and gathered them together H6908 to H413 PREP-3MS him in H413 PREP the street H7339 of the gate H8179 NMS of the city H5892 D-GFS , and spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS comfortably H3824 to them , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
7 Be strong H2388 and courageous H553 , be not afraid H3372 nor H408 NPAR dismayed H2865 for M-CMP the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , nor for M-CMP all H3605 NMS the multitude H1995 that H834 RPRO is with H5973 PREP-3MS him : for H3588 CONJ there be more H7227 AMS with H5973 PREP-1MP us than with him :
8 With H5973 PREP-3MS him is an arm H2220 NFS of flesh H1320 NMS ; but with H5973 us is the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 to help H5826 us , and to fight H3898 our battles H4421 . And the people H5971 rested themselves H5564 upon H5921 PREP the words H1697 CMP of Hezekiah H3169 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 .
9 After H310 ADV this H2088 DPRO did Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS send H7971 VQQ3MS his servants H5650 to Jerusalem H3389 , (but he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS himself laid siege against H5921 PREP Lachish H3923 , and all H3605 NMS his power H4475 with H5973 PREP-3MS him , ) unto H5921 PREP Hezekiah H3169 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and unto H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS Judah H3063 that H834 RPRO were at Jerusalem H3389 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
10 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , Whereon H5921 PREP do ye H859 PPRO-2MS trust H982 , that ye abide H3427 in the siege H4692 in Jerusalem H3389 ?
11 Doth not H3808 I-NADV Hezekiah H3169 persuade H5496 you to give over H5414 L-VQFC yourselves to die H4191 L-VQFC by famine H7458 B-NMS and by thirst H6772 WB-NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , The LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 shall deliver H5337 us out of the hand H3709 M-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 ?
12 Hath not H3808 I-NADV the same H1931 PPRO-3MS Hezekiah H3169 taken away H5493 VHQ3MS his high places H1116 and his altars H4196 , and commanded H559 W-VQY3MS Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Ye shall worship H7812 before H6440 L-CMP one H259 MMS altar H4196 NMS , and burn incense H6999 upon H5921 it ?
13 Know H3045 ye not H3808 I-NADV what H4100 IPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS and my fathers H1 have done H6213 VQQ1MS unto all H3605 the people H5971 of other lands H776 ? were the gods H430 CDP of the nations H1471 of those lands H776 any ways able H3201 VQP3MP to deliver H5337 L-VHFC their lands H776 out of mine hand H3027 ?
14 Who H4310 IPRO was there among all H3605 the gods H430 CDP of those H428 D-DPRO-3MP nations H1471 D-NMP that H834 RPRO my fathers H1 utterly destroyed H2763 , that H834 RPRO could H3201 deliver H5337 L-VHFC his people H5971 out of mine hand H3027 , that H3588 CONJ your God H430 should be able H3201 VQY3MS to deliver H5337 L-VHFC you out of mine hand H3027 ?
15 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore let not H408 NPAR Hezekiah H2396 deceive H5377 you , nor H408 ADV persuade H5496 you on this manner H2063 , neither H408 ADV yet believe H539 him : for H3588 CONJ no H3808 NADV god H433 EDS of any H3605 NMS nation H1471 NMS or kingdom H4467 was able H3201 VQY3MS to deliver H5337 L-VHFC his people H5971 out of mine hand H3027 , and out of the hand H3027 WM-GFS of my fathers H1 : how much less H637 CONJ shall your God H430 deliver H5337 you out of mine hand H3027 ?
16 And his servants H5650 spoke H1696 yet H5750 W-ADV more against H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 D-EDP , and against H5921 PREP his servant H5650 Hezekiah H3169 .
17 He wrote H3789 CMS also letters H5612 to rail H2778 on the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , and to speak H559 against H5921 PREP-3MS him , saying H559 L-VQFC , As the gods H430 of the nations H1471 of other lands H776 have not H3808 NADV delivered H5337 their people H5971 out of mine hand H3027 , so H3651 ADV shall not H3808 ADV the God H430 CDP of Hezekiah H3169 deliver H5337 his people H5971 out of mine hand H3027 .
18 Then they cried H7121 W-VQY3MP with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 in the Jews\' speech H3066 unto H5921 PREP the people H5971 NMS of Jerusalem H3389 that H834 RPRO were on H5921 PREP the wall H2346 , to frighten H3372 them , and to trouble H926 them ; that H4616 L-CONJ they might take H3920 the city H5892 D-GFS .
19 And they spoke H1696 against H413 PREP the God H430 CDP of Jerusalem H3389 , as against H5921 the gods H430 CDP of the people H5971 of the earth H776 D-GFS , which were the work H4639 M-CMS of the hands H3027 CFD of man H120 D-NMS .
20 And for H5921 PREP this H2063 DPRO cause Hezekiah H3169 the king H4428 D-NMS , and the prophet H5030 Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 CMS of Amoz H531 , prayed H6419 W-VTY3MS and cried H2199 W-VQY3MP to heaven H8064 D-AMD .
21 And the LORD H3068 EDS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS an angel H4397 NMS , which cut off H3582 all H3605 NMS the mighty men H1368 AMS of valor H2428 NMS , and the leaders H5057 and captains H8269 in the camp H4264 of the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS . So he returned H7725 with shame H1322 of face H6440 NMP to his own land H776 L-CFS-3MS . And when he was come into H935 W-VQY3MS the house H1004 CMS of his god H430 CMP-3MS , they that came forth of his own bowels H4578 slew H5307 him there H8033 ADV with the sword H2719 .
22 Thus the LORD H3068 EDS saved H3467 Hezekiah H3169 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 from the hand H3027 M-GFS of Sennacherib H5576 the king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS , and from the hand H3027 WM-GFS of all H3605 NMS other , and guided H5095 them on every side H5439 .
23 And many H7227 brought H935 gifts H4503 NFS unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS to Jerusalem H3389 , and presents H4030 to Hezekiah H3169 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 : so that he was magnified H5375 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 CMS nations H1471 D-NMP from thenceforth H310 .
24 In those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP days H3117 BD-NMP Hezekiah H3169 was sick H2470 to H5704 PREP the death H4191 L-VQFC , and prayed H6419 W-VTY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS : and he spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , and he gave H5414 VQQ3MS him a sign H4159 .
25 But Hezekiah H3169 rendered not again H7725 VHQ3MS according to the benefit H1576 done unto H5921 PREP-3MS him ; for H3588 CONJ his heart H3820 CMS-3MS was lifted up H1361 : therefore there was H1961 W-VQY3MS wrath H7110 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and upon H5921 PREP-3MS Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 .
26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah H3169 humbled himself H3665 for the pride H1363 of his heart H3820 CMS-3MS , both he H1931 PPRO-3MS and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , so that the wrath H7110 of the LORD H3068 EDS came H935 not H3808 W-NPAR upon H5921 PREP-3MP them in the days H3117 B-CMP of Hezekiah H3169 .
27 And Hezekiah H3169 had H1961 W-VQY3MS exceeding H3966 ADV much H7235 VHFA riches H6239 and honor H3519 : and he made H6213 himself treasuries H214 for silver H3701 , and for gold H2091 , and for precious H3368 stones H68 , and for spices H1314 , and for shields H4043 , and for all manner H3605 WL-CMS of pleasant H2532 jewels H3627 ;
28 Storehouses H4543 also for the increase H8393 of corn H1715 , and wine H8492 , and oil H3323 ; and stalls H723 for all manner H3605 L-CMS of beasts H929 NFS , and cotes H220 for flocks H5739 .
29 Moreover he provided H6213 VQQ3MS him cities H5892 , and possessions H4735 of flocks H6629 NMS and herds H1241 W-NMS in abundance H7230 LD-NMS : for H3588 CONJ God H430 EDP had given H5414 him substance H7399 very H3966 ADV much H7227 AMS .
30 This same H1931 W-PPRO-3MS Hezekiah H3169 also stopped H5640 the upper H5945 watercourse H4161 NMS 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 H3605 his works H4639 CMS-3MS .
31 Howbeit H3651 in the business of the ambassadors H3887 of the princes H8269 CMP of Babylon H894 LFS , who sent H7971 unto H5921 PREP-3MS him to inquire of H1875 L-VQFC the wonder H4159 that H834 RPRO was H1961 VQQ3MS done in the land H776 BD-GFS , God H430 D-NAME-4MS left H5800 him , to try H5254 him , that he might know H3045 L-VQFC all H3605 NMS that was in his heart H3824 .
32 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 CMP of Hezekiah H3169 , and his goodness H2617 , behold H2009 , they are written H3789 in the vision H2377 of Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 , the son H1121 CMS of Amoz H531 , and in H5921 PREP the book H5612 CMS of the kings H4428 CMP of Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 .
33 And Hezekiah H3169 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and they buried H6912 him in the chiefest H4608 of the sepulchers H6913 of the sons H1121 CMP of David H1732 : and all H3605 NMS Judah H3063 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 did H6213 him honor H3519 at his death H4194 . And Manasseh H4519 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
