2 Chronicles 32:1–8

^*aAfter 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. ²And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that ^†he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, ³He 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. ⁴So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and ^bthe brook that ^†ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water? ⁵Also he strengthened himself, ^cand built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired ^dMillo in the city of David, and made ^||darts and shields in abundance. ⁶And 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, ^7eBe strong and courageous, ^fbe not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for ^gthere be more with us than with him: ⁸With him is an ^harm of flesh; but ⁱwith 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.
