2 Chronicles 32:1-5 ▼

1 After these acts of faithfulness Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.

2 Then Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he had set his face to make war on Jerusalem,

3 and he took counsel with his commanders and his warriors to stop up the supply of water from the springs which were outside the city, and they helped him.

4 So many people gathered and stopped up all the springs and the stream which flowed in the midst of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water?”

5 And he strengthened himself and rebuilt all the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and built another outside wall and strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number.
