2 Chronicles 32:17-33

32:17

He wrote
<03789> (8804)

also letters
<05612>

to rail
<02778> (8763)

on the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and to speak
<0559> (8800)

against him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

As the gods
<0430>

of the nations
<01471>

of [other] lands
<0776>

have not delivered
<05337> (8689)

their people
<05971>

out of mine hand
<03027>_,

so shall not the God
<0430>

of Hezekiah
<03169>

deliver
<05337> (8686)

his people
<05971>

out of mine hand
<03027>_.

32:18

Then they cried
<07121> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>

in the Jews' speech
<03066>

unto the people
<05971>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

that [were] on the wall
<02346>_,

to affright
<03372> (8763)

them, and to trouble
<0926> (8763)

them; that they might take
<03920> (8799)

the city
<05892>_.

32:19

And they spake
<01696> (8762)

against
<05921>

the God
<0430>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

as against the gods
<0430>

of the people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>_,

[which were] the work
<04639>

of the hands
<03027>

of man
<0120>_.

32:20

And for this [cause] Hezekiah
<03169>

the king
<04428>_,

and the prophet
<05030>

Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>_,

prayed
<06419> (8691)

and cried
<02199> (8799)

to heaven
<08064>_.

32:21

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8799)

an angel
<04397>_,

which cut off
<03582> (8686)

all the mighty men
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_,

and the leaders
<05057>

and captains
<08269>

in the camp
<04264>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

So he returned
<07725> (8799)

with shame
<01322>

of face
<06440>

to his own land
<0776>_.

And when he was come
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of his god
<0430>_,

they that came forth
<03329>

of his own bowels
<04578>

slew
<05307> (8689)

him there with the sword
<02719>_.

{slew...: Heb. made him fall}

32:22

Thus the LORD
<03068>

saved
<03467> (8686)

Hezekiah
<03169>

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

from the hand
<03027>

of Sennacherib
<05576>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and from the hand
<03027>

of all [other], and guided
<05095> (8762)

them on every side
<05439>_.

32:23

And many
<07227>

brought
<0935> (8688)

gifts
<04503>

unto the LORD
<03068>

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and presents
<04030>

to Hezekiah
<03169>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_:

so that he was magnified
<05375> (8735)

in the sight
<05869>

of all nations
<01471>

from thenceforth
<0310>_.

{presents: Heb. precious things}

32:24

In those days
<03117>

Hezekiah
<03169>

was sick
<02470> (8804)

to the death
<04191> (8800)_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and he spake
<0559> (8799)

unto him, and he gave
<05414> (8804)

him a sign
<04159>_.

{gave...: or, wrought a miracle for him}

32:25

But Hezekiah
<03169>

rendered not again
<07725> (8689)

according to the benefit
<01576>

[done] unto him; for his heart
<03820>

was lifted up
<01361> (8804)_:

therefore there was wrath
<07110>

upon him, and upon Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

32:26

Notwithstanding Hezekiah
<03169>

humbled
<03665> (8735)

himself for the pride
<01363>

of his heart
<03820>_,

[both] he and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

so that the wrath
<07110>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<0935> (8804)

not upon them in the days
<03117>

of Hezekiah
<03169>_.

{pride: Heb. lifting up}

32:27

And Hezekiah
<03169>

had exceeding
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)

riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>_:

and he made
<06213> (8804)

himself treasuries
<0214>

for silver
<03701>_,

and for gold
<02091>_,

and for precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_,

and for spices
<01314>_,

and for shields
<04043>_,

and for all manner of pleasant
<02532>

jewels
<03627>_;

{pleasant...: Heb. instruments of desire}

32:28

Storehouses
<04543>

also for the increase
<08393>

of corn
<01715>_,

and wine
<08492>_,

and oil
<03323>_;

and stalls
<0723>

for all manner of beasts
<0929>_,

and cotes
<0220>

for flocks
<05739>_.

32:29

Moreover he provided
<06213> (8804)

him cities
<05892>_,

and possessions
<04735>

of flocks
<06629>

and herds
<01241>

in abundance
<07230>_:

for God
<0430>

had given
<05414> (8804)

him substance
<07399>

very
<03966>

much
<07227>_.

32:30

This same Hezekiah
<03169>

also stopped
<05640> (8804)

the upper
<05945>

watercourse
<04161> <04325>

of Gihon
<01521>_,

and brought it straight
<03474> (8762)

down
<04295>

to the west side
<04628>

of the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

And Hezekiah
<03169>

prospered
<06743> (8686)

in all his works
<04639>_.

32:31

Howbeit
<03651>

in [the business of] the ambassadors
<03887> (8688)

of the princes
<08269>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

who sent
<07971> (8764)

unto him to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the wonder
<04159>

that was [done] in the land
<0776>_,

God
<0430>

left
<05800> (8804)

him, to try
<05254> (8763)

him, that he might know
<03045> (8800)

all [that was] in his heart
<03824>_.

{ambassadors: Heb. interpreters}

32:32

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Hezekiah
<03169>_,

and his goodness
<02617>_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the vision
<02377>

of Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>_,

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>_,

[and] in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>_.

{goodness: Heb. kindnesses}

32:33

And Hezekiah
<03169>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the chiefest
<04608>

of the sepulchres
<06913>

of the sons
<01121>

of David
<01732>_:

and all Judah
<03063>

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

did him
<06213> (8804)

honour
<03519>

at his death
<04194>_.

And Manasseh
<04519>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}
