2 Chronicles 32:1-4 ▼

1 After everything Hezekiah had done so faithfully, King Sennacherib of Assyria came to invade Judah. He set up camp [to attack] the fortified cities. He intended to conquer them himself.

2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to wage war against Jerusalem,

3 he, his officers, and his military staff made plans to stop the water from flowing out of the springs outside the city. They helped him do it.

4 A large crowd gathered as they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the land. They said, |Why should the kings of Assyria find plenty of water?|
