2 Chronicles 32:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 32
2
Now when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to
wage
war against Jerusalem,
3
he decided with his officers and his warriors to cut off the
supply of
water from the springs which
were
outside the city, and they helped him.
4
So many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream which flowed through the region, saying, 'Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water?'
5
And he resolutely set to work and rebuilt all of the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and
built
another outside wall and strengthened the Millo
in
the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great numbers.
6
He appointed military officers over the people and gathered them to him in the public square at the city gate, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
7
Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for
the One
with us is greater than
the one
with him.
8
With him is
only
an arm of flesh, but with us is the
Lord
our God to help us and to fight our battles.' And the people relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9
After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem while he
was
besieging Lachish with all his forces with him, against Hezekiah king of Judah and against all of Judah who
were
in Jerusalem, saying,
King James Version
Chapter 32
2
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
3
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.
4
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?
5
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.
6
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,
7
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:
8
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.
9
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,
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 32
2
Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he planned war on Jerusalem,
3
so he consulted with his officials and his warriors about stopping up the water of the springs that were outside the city, and they helped him.
4
Many people gathered and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land; they said, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water?"
5
Then Hezekiah strengthened his position by rebuilding the entire broken-down wall and heightening the towers and the other outside wall. He repaired the supporting terraces of the city of David, and made an abundance of weapons and shields.
6
He set military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,
7
"Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria or before the large army that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.
8
He has only human strength, but we have the
Lord
our God to help us and to fight our battles." So the people relied on the words of King Hezekiah of Judah.
9
After this, while King Sennacherib of Assyria with all his armed forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem against King Hezekiah of Judah and against all those of Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,
New Living Translation
Chapter 32
2
When Hezekiah realized that Sennacherib also intended to attack Jerusalem,
3
he consulted with his officials and military advisers, and they decided to stop the flow of the springs outside the city.
4
They organized a huge work crew to stop the flow of the springs, cutting off the brook that ran through the fields. For they said, 'Why should the kings of Assyria come here and find plenty of water?'
5
Then Hezekiah worked hard at repairing all the broken sections of the wall, erecting towers, and constructing a second wall outside the first. He also reinforced the supporting terraces in the City of David and manufactured large numbers of weapons and shields.
6
He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate. Then Hezekiah encouraged them by saying:
7
Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is a power far greater on our side!
8
He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the
Lord
our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!' Hezekiah’s words greatly encouraged the people.
9
While King Sennacherib of Assyria was still besieging the town of Lachish, he sent his officers to Jerusalem with this message for Hezekiah and all the people in the city:
English Standard Version
Chapter 32
2
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and intended to fight against Jerusalem,
3
he planned with his officers and his mighty men to stop the water of the springs that were outside the city; and they helped him.
4
A great many people were gathered, and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?"
5
He set to work resolutely and built up all the wall that was broken down and raised towers upon it, and outside it he built another wall, and he strengthened the Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance.
6
And he set combat commanders over the people and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
7
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.
8
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 took confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria, who was besieging Lachish with all his forces, sent his servants to Jerusalem to Hezekiah king of Judah and to all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,
New International Version
Chapter 32
2
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to wage war against Jerusalem,
3
he consulted with his officials and military staff about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city, and they helped him.
4
They gathered a large group of people who blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?" they said.
5
Then he worked hard repairing all the broken sections of the wall and building towers on it. He built another wall outside that one and reinforced the terraces of the City of David. He also made large numbers of weapons and shields.
6
He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words:
7
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him.
8
With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the
Lord
our God to help us and to fight our battles." And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.
9
Later, when Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces were laying siege to Lachish, he sent his officers to Jerusalem with this message for Hezekiah king of Judah and for all the people of Judah who were there:
New King James Version
Chapter 32
2
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,
3
he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which
were
outside the city; and they helped him.
4
Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?”
5
And he strengthened himself, built up all the wall that was broken, raised
it
up to the towers, and
built
another wall outside; also he repaired the Millo
in
the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6
Then he set military captains over the people, gathered them together to him in the open square of the city gate, and gave them encouragement, saying,
7
“Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that
is
with him; for
there are
more with us than with him.
8
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 were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9
After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him
laid siege
against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who
were
in Jerusalem, saying,
