And the people depended upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 9After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he himself was before Lachish, and all his power with him), unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, 10Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: On what do ye rely that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? 11Does not Hezekiah persuade you, to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah ourGod will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 12Has not the same Hezekiah removed his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it? 13Do ye not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the countries? Were thegods of the nations of the countries in any wise able to deliver their country out of my hand? 14Who is there among all thegods of those nations that my fathers have utterly destroyed, that was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that yourGod should be able to deliver you out of my hand? 15And now, let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him; for nogod of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, nor out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall yourGod deliver you out of my hand? 16And his servants spoke yet more against Jehovah, the [true]God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 17And he wrote a letter to rail at Jehovah theGod of Israel, and to speak against him saying, As thegods of the nations of the countries have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not theGod of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. 18And they cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language] to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them; that they might take the city. 19And they spoke of theGod of Jerusalem as of thegods of the peoples of the earth, the work of man's hand. 20And because of this, king Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz prayed and cried to heaven. 21And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the princes and the captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of hisgod, they that came forth of his own bowels made him fall there with the sword. 22And Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and protected them on every side. 23And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; and he was thenceforth magnified in the sight of all the nations. 24In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death, and he prayed to Jehovah; and he spoke to him and gave him a sign. 25But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit [done] to him, for his heart was lifted up; and there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 26And Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 27And Hezekiah had very much riches and honour; and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant vessels; 28storehouses also for the increase of corn and new wine and oil, and stalls for all manner of beasts, and [he procured] flocks for the stalls. 29And he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; forGod gave him very much substance. 30And he, Hezekiah, stopped the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 31However in [the matter of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land,God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart. 32And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the highest place of the sepulchres of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. ‹Previous chapter2 Chronicles 31Next chapter2 Chronicles 33›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions2 Chronicles 32 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
