1: AfterH0310 deeds,H1697 and faithfulnessH0571 theseH0428 came,H0935 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 and enteredH0935 Judah,H3063 and he encampedH2583 againstH5921 the cities,H5892 fortifiedH1219 and thinkingH0559 to win them overH1234 to himself.H0413

2: And when sawH7200 HezekiahH2396 thatH3588 had come,H0935 SennacheribH5576 that his purpose wasH6440 to make warH4421 againstH5921 Jerusalem,H3389

3: and he consultedH3289 withH5973 his leadersH8269 and commandersH1368 to stopH5640 -H0853 the water fromH4325 the springsH5869 that [were]H0834 outsideH2351 the city,H5892 and they helped him.H5826

4: Thus gathered togetherH6908 peopleH5971 manyH7227 and who stoppedH5640 -H0853 allH3605 the springs,H4599 andH0853 the brookH5158 that ranH7857 throughH8432 the land,H0776 saying,H0559 whyH4100 should come,H0935 the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH0804 and findH4672 waterH4325 much?H7227

5: and he strengthened himself,H2388 and built upH1129 -H0853 allH3605 the wallH2346 that was broken,H6555 and raised [it] upH5927 toH5921 the towers,H4026 and outside,H2351 wallH2346 [built] anotherH0312 and he repairedH2388 -H0853 the MilloH4407 [in] the CityH5892 of David,H1732 and madeH6213 weaponsH7973 in abundanceH7230 and shields.H4043

6: And he setH5414 captainsH8269 militaryH4421 overH5921 the people,H5971 and gathered them togetherH6908 to himH0413 inH0413 the open squareH7339 of gateH8179 the city,H5892 and gaveH1696 uponH5921 them encouragementH3824 saying,H0559

7: Be strongH2388 and courageous,H0553 notH0408 do be afraidH3372 norH0408 dismayedH2865 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 nor beforeH6440 allH3605 the multitudeH1995 that [is]H0834 with himH5973 forH3588 with usH5973 [there are] moreH7227 than with him.H5973

8: With him [is]H5973 an armH2220 of flesh-H1320 but with us [is]H5973 YahwehH3069 our GodH0430 to help usH5826 and to fightH3898 our battles.H4421 And were strengthenedH5564 the peopleH5971 byH5921 the wordsH1697 of HezekiahH2396 king ofH4428 Judah.H3063

9: AfterH0310 thisH2088 sentH7971 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH0804 his servantsH5650 to Jerusalem,H3389 but he [laid siege]H1931 againstH5921 Lachish,H3923 and allH3605 the forcesH4475 with himH5973 toH5921 HezekiahH2396 king ofH4428 Judah,H3063 and toH5921 allH3605 JudahH3063 who [were]H0834 in Jerusalem,H3389 saying,H0559

10: thusH3541 saysH0559 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 UponH5921 whatH4100 youH0859 do trust,H0982 that you remainH3427 under siegeH4692 in Jerusalem?H3389

11: Does notH3808 HezekiahH2396 persuadeH5496 youH0853 to give overH5414 yourselvesH0853 to dieH4191 by famineH7458 and by thirst,H6772 saying,H0559 YahwehH3068 our GodH0430 will deliver usH5337 from the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of Assyria?H0804

12: Has notH3808 heH1931 HezekiahH2396 taken awayH5493 -H0853 His high placesH1116 andH0853 His altars,H4196 and commandedH0559 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem,H3389 saying,H0559 beforeH6440 altar,H4196 oneH0259 You shall worshipH7812 and on itH5921 burn incense.H6999

13: Do notH3808 you knowH3045 whatH4100 have doneH6213 IH0589 and my fathersH0001 to allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of [other] lands?H0776 Were in any wayH3605 ableH3201 the godsH0430 of the nationsH1471 of those landsH0776 to deliverH5337 -H0853 their landsH0776 out of my hand?H3027

14: who [was there]H4310 among allH3605 the godsH0430 of nationsH1471 theseH0428 thatH0834 utterly destroyed,H2763 my fathersH0001 thatH0834 couldH3201 deliverH5337 -H0853 his peopleH5971 from my hand,H3027 thatH3588 should be ableH3201 your GodH0430 to deliverH5337 youH0853 from my hand?H3027

15: therefore nowH6258 notH0408 do let deceiveH5377 youH0853 HezekiahH2396 orH0408 persuadeH5496 youH0853 like this,H2063 and notH0408 do believeH0539 forH3588 noH3808 was ableH3201 allH3605 godH0433 of anyH3605 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 to deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 from my hand,H3027 or the handH3027 of my fathers.H0001 How much lessH0637 how much lessH3588 your GodH0430 notH3808 will deliverH5337 youH0853 from my hand?H3027

16: and FurthermoreH5750 spokeH1696 his servantsH5650 againstH5921 YahwehH3068 God,H0430 and againstH5921 HezekiahH2396 His servant.H5650

17: And lettersH5612 He wroteH3789 to revileH2778 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 and to speakH0559 against HimH5921 saying,H0559 as the godsH0430 of the nationsH1471 of [other] landsH0776 whichH0834 notH3808 have deliveredH5337 their peopleH5971 from my hand,H3027 soH3651 notH3808 will deliverH5337 the GodH0430 of HezekiahH2396 His peopleH5971 from my hand.H3027

18: And they called outH7121 with a voiceH6963 loudH1419 in HebrewH3066 toH5921 the peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 who [were]H0834 onH5921 the wall,H2346 to frighten themH3372 and trouble themH0926 thatH4616 they might takeH3920 -H0853 the city.H5892

19: And they spokeH1696 againstH0413 the GodH0430 of Jerusalem,H3389 as againstH5921 the godsH0430 of the peopleH5971 of the earth,H0776 the workH4639 of handsH3027 of men.H0120

20: And prayedH6419 HezekiahH2396 King,H4428 and IsaiahH3470 sonH1121 of Amoz,H0531 the prophetH5030 becauseH5921 of thisH2063 and cried outH2199 to heaven.H8064

21: And sentH7971 YahwehH3068 an angel,H4397 and who cut downH3582 everyH3605 mighty manH1368 of valor,H2428 and leaderH5057 and captainH8269 in the campH4264 of the kingH4428 of Assyria.H0804 So he returnedH7725 in shameH1322 shamefacedH6440 to his own land.H0776 And when he had goneH0935 into the templeH1004 of his god,H0430 they who came forthH3329 some of his own offspringH4578 thereH8033 struck him downH5307 with the sword.H2719

22: Thus savedH3467 YahwehH3068 -H0853 HezekiahH2396 andH0853 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 from the handH3027 of SennacheribH5576 the kingH4428 of Assyria,H0804 and from the handH3027 of all [others]H3605 and guided themH5095 on every side.H5439

23: And manyH7227 broughtH0935 giftsH4503 to YahwehH3068 at Jerusalem,H3389 and presentsH4030 to HezekiahH2396 king ofH4428 Judah,H3063 so that he was exaltedH5375 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 nationsH1471 afterH0310 thereafter.H3651

24: In daysH3117 thoseH1992 was sickH2470 HezekiahH2396 toH5704 and near death,H4191 and he prayedH6419 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and He spokeH0559 and a signH4159 gaveH5414

25: But notH3808 according to the favor [shown]H1576 himH5921 did repayH7725 HezekiahH2396 forH3588 was lifted up-H1361 his heartH3820 therefore was loomingH1961 over himH5921 wrathH7110 and overH5921 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem.H3389

26: And humbled himselfH3665 HezekiahH2396 for the prideH1363 of his heart,H3820 heH1931 and the inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem,H3389 so that notH3808 did comeH0935 upon themH5921 the wrathH7110 of YahwehH3068 in the days ofH3117 Hezekiah.H2396

27: And hadH1961 HezekiahH2396 richesH6239 and honor-H3519 greatH7235 veryH3966 and treasuriesH0214 he madeH6213 for silver,H3701 for gold,H2091 for stones,H0068 preciousH3368 for spices,H1314 for shields,H4043 for all kindsH3605 of items-H3627 desirable.H2532

28: And storehousesH4543 for the harvestH8393 of grain,H1715 and wine,H8492 and oil-H3323 and stallsH0723 for all [kinds]H3605 ofH0929 and livestock,H0929 and foldsH5739 for flocks.H0220

29: Moreover cities,H5892 he providedH6213 and possessionsH4735 of flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 in abundance,H7230 forH3588 had givenH5414 GodH0430 propertyH7399 muchH7227 very.H3966

30: And thatH1931 HezekiahH2396 stoppedH5640 -H0853 outletH4161 water outletH4325 of Gihon,H1521 the UpperH5945 and brought the water by tunnelH3474 toH4295 the west sideH4628 of the CityH5892 of David.H1732 And prosperedH6743 HezekiahH2396 in allH3605 his works.H4639

31: And HoweverH3651 [regarding] the ambassadorsH3887 of the princesH8269 of Babylon,H0894 whom they sentH7971 to himH5921 to inquire aboutH1875 the wonderH4159 thatH0834 was [done]H1961 in the land,H0776 withdrew from himH5800 GodH0430 in order to test himH5254 that He might knowH3045 all [that was]H3605 in his heart.H3824

32: And the restH3499 of the acts ofH1697 HezekiahH2396 and his goodness,H2617 indeedH2005 they [are] writtenH3789 in the visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 sonH1121 of Amoz,H0531 the prophet,H5030 [and] inH5921 the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and Israel.H3478

33: So restedH7901 HezekiahH2396 withH5973 his fathers,H0001 and they buried himH6912 in the upperH4608 tombsH6913 of the sonsH1121 of David-H1732 and honoredH3519 didH6213 at his death.H4194 AllH3605 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 and reignedH4427 ManassehH4519 his sonH1121 in his place.H8478
