1 After these things and these acts of faithfulness, King Sennacherib of Assyria came and invaded Judah and encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them for himself.

2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and intended to fight against Jerusalem,

3 he planned with his officers and his warriors to stop the flow of the springs that were outside the city; and they helped him.

4 A great many people were gathered, and they stopped all the springs and the wadi that flowed through the land, saying, “Why should the Assyrian kings come and find water in abundance?”
