2 Chronicles 32:1-8
1After these 1acts of faithfulness 2Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and besieged the fortified cities, and 3thought to break into them for himself. 2Now when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that 4he intended to make war on Jerusalem, 3he 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. 4So many people assembled 5and stopped up all the springs and 6the stream which flowed 7through the region, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water?” 5And he took courage and 8rebuilt all the wall that had been broken down and 9erected towers on it, and built 10another outside wall and strengthened the 11Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number. 6He appointed military officers over the people and gathered them to him in the square at the city gate, and 12spoke 13encouragingly to them, saying, 7“14Be 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; 15for the one with us is greater than the one with him. 8With him is only 16an arm of flesh, but 17with 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.
