2 Chronicles 32:9-23

32:9

After
<0310>

this did Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

send
<07971> (8804)

his servants
<05650>

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

(but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish
<03923>_,

and all his power
<04475>

with him,) unto Hezekiah
<03169>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and unto all Judah
<03063>

that [were] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{power: Heb. dominion}

32:10

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

Whereon do ye trust
<0982> (8802)_,

that ye abide
<03427> (8802)

in the siege
<04692>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_?

{siege: or, strong hold}

32:11

Doth not Hezekiah
<03169>

persuade
<05496> (8688)

you to give
<05414> (8800)

over yourselves to die
<04191> (8800)

by famine
<07458>

and by thirst
<06772>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

us out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_?

32:12

Hath not the same Hezekiah
<03169>

taken away
<05493> (8689)

his high places
<01116>

and his altars
<04196>_,

and commanded
<0559> (8799)

Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall worship
<07812> (8691)

before
<06440>

one
<0259>

altar
<04196>_,

and burn incense
<06999> (8686)

upon it?

32:13

Know
<03045> (8799)

ye not what I and my fathers
<01>

have done
<06213> (8804)

unto all the people
<05971>

of [other] lands
<0776>_?

were the gods
<0430>

of the nations
<01471>

of those lands
<0776>

any ways
<03201> (8800)

able
<03201> (8804)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

their lands
<0776>

out of mine hand
<03027>_?

32:14

Who [was there] among all the gods
<0430>

of those nations
<01471>

that my fathers
<01>

utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_,

that could
<03201> (8804)

deliver
<05337> (8687)

his people
<05971>

out of mine hand
<03027>_,

that your God
<0430>

should be able
<03201> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

you out of mine hand
<03027>_?

32:15

Now therefore let not
<03808>

Hezekiah
<02396>

deceive
<05377> (8686)

you, nor persuade
<05496> (8686)

you on this manner, neither yet believe
<0539> (8686)

him: for no god
<0433>

of any nation
<01471>

or kingdom
<04467>

was able
<03201> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

his people
<05971>

out of mine hand
<03027>_,

and out of the hand
<03027>

of my fathers
<01>_:

how much less shall your God
<0430>

deliver
<05337> (8686)

you out of mine hand
<03027>_?

32:16

And his servants
<05650>

spake
<01696> (8765)

yet [more] against the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

and against his servant
<05650>

Hezekiah
<03169>_.

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}
