Berean Standard Bible
After these things
and
this
truth
, come
hath
Sennacherib king of Asshur,
yea,
he cometh
in
to Judah,
and
encampeth
against
the cities of
the
bulwarks
, and
saith
to rend
them unto
himself.
After all
these acts
of
faithfulness
, Sennacherib king of Assyria
came
and
invaded
Judah.
He laid
siege
to the fortified
cities, intending
to conquer
them for
himself.
And
Hezekiah seeth
that Sennacherib hath
come ,
and
his
face
`is'
to the
battle
against Jerusalem,
When
Hezekiah saw
that Sennacherib had
come to make
war
against Jerusalem,
and
he taketh
counsel
with his heads
and his
mighty
ones,
to
stop
the waters of the fountains
that
`are'
at
the
outside of
the city --
and they help
him ,
he consulted
with his leaders
and commanders
about
stopping
up
the waters of the springs
outside the city ,
and they helped
him carry
it
out.
and
much
people are
gathered,
and they
stop
all the fountains
and the brook
that is
rushing
into
the
midst
of
the land ,
saying,
`
Why do
the kings of Asshur
come ,
and have
found
much
water? '
Many
people assembled
and stopped
up
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.
And
he
strengtheneth
himself,
and
buildeth
the whole
of the wall that
is
broken,
and causeth
`it'
to ascend
unto
the
towers ,
and at
the outside
of the wall
another,
and
strengtheneth
Millo,
`in'
the
city of David, and maketh
darts
in
abundance ,
and shields.
Then
Hezekiah
worked
resolutely
to
rebuild
all
the broken
sections
of the wall and to raise
up
towers on
it.
He
also
built
an
outer
wall
and reinforced
the supporting
terraces
of the City of David, and he
produced
an
abundance of
weapons
and shields.
And
he
putteth
heads
of
war
over the people ,
and gathereth
them
unto
him,
unto
the broad
place
of
a
gate
of the city ,
and
speaketh
unto
their
heart
, saying,
Hezekiah
appointed
military
commanders
over the people and gathered
the people
in
the
square
of the city gate.
Then
he
encouraged
them
, saying,
`
Be strong and courageous ,
be
not afraid,
nor
be cast
down
from
the
face
of
the king of Asshur,
and from
the face
of
all
the
multitude
that
`is'
with him, for with us `are'
more
than with him.
“
Be strong and courageous !
Do
not be afraid
or
discouraged
before
the king of Assyria
and the vast
army
with him, for there
is
a
greater
One
with us than with him.
With him `
is '
an
arm of flesh, and
with us `
is '
Jehovah
our God ,
to help us ,
and to fight our battles ;'
and
the people are
supported
by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
With him is only
the
arm of flesh, but
with us is the
LORD
our God to help us and to fight our battles .”
So
the people were
strengthened
by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
After
this
hath
Sennacherib king of Asshur
sent his servants to Jerusalem --
and
he
`is'
by
Lachish,
and
all
his
power
with him
--
against
Hezekiah
king of Judah ,
and against
all Judah ,
who `are'
in Jerusalem ,
saying,
Later,
as
Sennacherib king of Assyria
and
all
his
forces
besieged
Lachish,
he
sent his servants to Jerusalem with a
message
for
King Hezekiah
of Judah and all the
people
of
Judah who were
in Jerusalem :
`Thus
said
Sennacherib king of Asshur,
On
what are
ye
trusting
and
abiding
in
the bulwark
, in Jerusalem?
“This
is
what
Sennacherib king of Assyria
says:
What is
the basis
of
your
confidence
, that
you
remain
in Jerusalem under
siege
?
`
Is not Hezekiah persuading
you ,
to give you up
to die
by famine ,
and by
thirst ,
saying
, Jehovah
our God doth
deliver us from the hand of the king of Asshur
?
Is not Hezekiah misleading
you to give you over
to death
by famine and thirst when
he
says
, ‘The
LORD
our God will
deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria
? ’
Hath
not Hezekiah himself turned
aside
His high places ,
and His altars ,
and speaketh
to Judah and to
Jerusalem, saying,
Before one altar ye
bow
yourselves
, and on it ye
make
perfume
?
Did
not Hezekiah himself remove
His high places and His altars and say
to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You
must
worship
before one altar, and on it you
shall
burn
sacrifices’
?
`
Do ye
not know what I have
done
--
I
and my fathers --
to all peoples of the lands? Were
the gods of the
nations of
the
lands
at
all
able to deliver their land out
of
my hand?
Do you
not know what I and my fathers have
done
to all the
peoples of the lands? Have
the gods of these
nations ever
been
able to deliver their land from
my hand?
Who among all the gods of these nations whom
my fathers have
devoted to destruction `is'
he
who
hath
been able to deliver his people out
of
my hand ,
that
your God is
able
to
deliver you out
of
my hand?
Who among all the gods of these nations that
my fathers devoted to destruction has
been able to deliver his people from
my hand ?
How
then
can
your God deliver you from
my hand?
`And,
now, let
not Hezekiah lift
you up
, nor
persuade
you thus,
nor
give
credence
to
him, for no god of any nation and
kingdom is
able to deliver his people from my hand ,
and
from the hand of my fathers :
also,
surely
your God doth
not
deliver you from my hand! '
So
now, do
not let
Hezekiah deceive
you, and
do
not
let
him
mislead
you like
this.
Do
not
believe
him, for no god of any nation or
kingdom has
been
able to deliver his people from my hand or
from the hand of my fathers .
How
much
less
will
your God deliver you from my hand! ”
And again
have
his
servants spoken
against Jehovah
God ,
and against Hezekiah
His servant ,
And the
servants of
Sennacherib
spoke
further
against the
LORD
God and against His servant Hezekiah.
and
letters
he hath
written
to
give
reproach
to
Jehovah
, God of Israel, and to
speak
against Him ,
saying,
`
As the gods of the nations of
the
lands
that
have
not delivered
their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth
not deliver His people from my hand. '
He also
wrote
letters
mocking
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, and saying
against Him :
“Just
as the gods of the nations did
not deliver
their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will
not deliver His people from my hand. ”
And
they
call
with
a
great
voice
`
in '
Jewish,
against
the people of Jerusalem who `are'
on the wall, to frighten them,
and to
trouble
them ,
that
they
may
capture the city ,
Then
the
Assyrians
called
out
loudly
in Hebrew
to
the people of Jerusalem who were
on the wall, to frighten and terrify
them in
order
to
capture the city .
and
they speak
against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land
--
work of the
hands of
man
.
They spoke
against the God of Jerusalem as they
had
spoken
against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the
work of human
hands.
And
Hezekiah
the
king
prayeth
, and Isaiah son of Amoz the
prophet,
concerning
this,
and
they
cry
to the
heavens
,
In
response
, King
Hezekiah
and the
prophet
Isaiah son of Amoz cried
out
to heaven
in
prayer
,
and Jehovah
sendeth
a
messenger,
and
cutteth
off
every mighty one
of valour
--
both
leader and head
--
in the camp of the king of Asshur,
and
he turneth
back
with
shame
of
face
to his land ,
and entereth
the house
of his god, and
those
coming
out
of his bowels
have
caused
him to
fall
there
by
the sword.
and the
LORD
sent
an
angel
who
annihilated
every mighty man
of valor
and
every
leader and commander
in the camp of the king of Assyria.
So
he withdrew
to his own
land in
disgrace.
And when
he
entered
the temple
of his god, some
of his own
sons
struck
him down
with
the sword.
And
Jehovah
saveth
Hezekiah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem from the hand
of Sennacherib
king of Asshur,
and from
the
hand
of
all, and He leadeth
them round
about;
So
the
LORD
saved
Hezekiah and the people
of Jerusalem from the hands
of King Sennacherib
of Assyria
and all the
others
, and He gave
them rest
on
every
side.
and
many are
bringing
in
an
offering
to
Jehovah,
to Jerusalem ,
and precious
things
to
Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is
lifted
up
before
the eyes of all the
nations after
this
.
Many brought
offerings
to Jerusalem for
the
LORD
and valuable
gifts
for
Hezekiah king of Judah, and from
then
on
he was
exalted
in
the eyes of all nations.
In those days hath
Hezekiah been
sick
even
unto
death,
and
he prayeth
unto
Jehovah
, and
He
speaketh
to him ,
and a
wonder
hath
appointed
for
him ;
In those days Hezekiah became
mortally
ill.
So
he prayed
to
the
LORD
, who
spoke
to him and gave
him a
sign.
and
Hezekiah hath
not returned
according
to
the deed
`done'
unto
him ,
for
his
heart
hath
been
lofty,
and
there
is
wrath upon him ,
and upon Judah and Jerusalem ;
But
because
his
heart
was
proud,
Hezekiah did
not repay
the favor
shown
to
him .
Therefore
wrath came
upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem .
and
Hezekiah is
humbled for
the loftiness
of his heart ,
he and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem ,
and
the wrath of Jehovah
hath
not come upon them in
the days of Hezekiah.
Then
Hezekiah humbled the pride
of his heart —
he and the people
of Jerusalem —so
that
the wrath of the
LORD
did
not come upon them during
the days of Hezekiah.
And
Hezekiah hath
riches and honour
very
much
, and treasures
he hath
made to
himself
of
silver, and
of
gold, and
of
precious stone
, and
of
spices, and
of
shields, and of
all `
kinds '
of desirable
vessels,
Hezekiah had
very
great
riches and honor
, and he made treasuries
for
his
silver, gold, precious stones
, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable
articles.
and
storehouses for the increase
of corn,
and new wine ,
and oil, and
stalls for all kinds of cattle
, and herds
for stalls;
He
also
made
storehouses for the harvest
of grain
and new wine and oil, stalls for all kinds of livestock
, and pens
for the
flocks.
and
cities
he hath
made for himself, and possessions
of flocks
and herds
in abundance, for God hath
given
to
him very much
substance
.
He made cities
for himself, and he
acquired
herds
of sheep
and cattle
in abundance, for God gave
him very great
wealth
.
And
Hezekiah himself
hath
stopped
the upper source
of the waters
of Gihon ,
and directeth
them
beneath
to the west of the city of David ,
and Hezekiah prospereth
in all his
work;
It
was
Hezekiah who
blocked
the upper outlet
of the Spring
of Gihon and channeled
it
down
to the west side
of the City of David .
And Hezekiah prospered
in all that
he
did.
and so with
the
ambassadors of the heads
of Babylon ,
those
sending
unto
him to inquire of
the wonder that hath
been
in the land, God hath
left him to try
him, to
know all in his
heart ,
And so when
ambassadors of the rulers
of Babylon were
sent
to
him to inquire about
the wonder that had
happened
in the land, God left him alone
to test
him, that
He
might
know all that
was
in Hezekiah’s
heart .
And
the rest of the matters
of Hezekiah ,
and his kind
acts,
lo
, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the
prophet,
on
the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Hezekiah and his deeds
of
loving
devotion
, they are indeed
written in the vision of the
prophet
Isaiah son of Amoz in
the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
And Hezekiah lieth
with his fathers ,
and they
bury
him
in the uppermost
of
the
graves
of
the
sons
of David,
and
all Judah and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem have
done
honour
to
him at his death ,
and reign
doth
Manasseh
his son in his stead
.
And Hezekiah rested
with his fathers and was
buried
in the upper
tombs
of David’s
descendants.
All Judah and the people
of Jerusalem paid
him honor
at his death .
And his son Manasseh
reigned
in his place
.
