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 when Hezekiah
saw
that Sennacherib
was come,
and that he was purposed
to fight
against Jerusalem,
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.

So there was gathered

who stopped

of the land,
saying,
Why should the kings

come,

Also he strengthened
himself, and built up
all the wall
that was broken,
and raised it up
to the towers,
and another

without,
and repaired

and made

And he set

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 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

but with us is the LORD

And the people
rested
themselves upon the words
of Hezekiah
king
of Judah.

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 saith
Sennacherib
king
of Assyria,
Whereon do ye trust,
that ye abide
in the siege
in Jerusalem?
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 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?
say
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 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?
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 his servants
spake
yet more against the LORD
God,
and against his servant
Hezekiah.
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.

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 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 for this cause Hezekiah
the king,
and the prophet
Isaiah
the son
of Amoz,
prayed
and cried
to heaven.
And the LORD
sent
an angel,
which 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 was come
into the house
of his god,
they that came forth
of his own bowels
slew
him there with the sword.

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
Hezekiah
was sick
to the death,
and prayed
unto the LORD:
and he spake
unto him, and he gave
him a sign.

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.
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
had exceeding
much
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

also for the increase

Moreover he provided
him cities,

and herds
in abundance:
for God
had given
him substance
very
much.

This same Hezekiah
also stopped

And Hezekiah
prospered
in all his works.

Howbeit

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
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
honour
at his death.
And Manasseh
his son
reigned
in his stead.
