And the people5971 rested5564 themselves upon the words1697 of Hezekiah3169 king4428 of Judah3063. 32:9 After0310 this did Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria0804 send7971 his servants5650 to Jerusalem3389, (but he {himself laid siege} against Lachish3923, and all his power4475 with him,) unto Hezekiah3169 king4428 of Judah3063, and unto all Judah3063 that {were} at Jerusalem3389, saying0559, 32:10 Thus saith0559 Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria0804, Whereon do ye trust0982, that ye abide3427 in the siege4692 in Jerusalem3389? 32:11 Doth not Hezekiah3169 persuade5496 you to give5414 over yourselves to die4191 by famine7458 and by thirst6772, saying0559, The LORD3068 our God0430 shall deliver5337 us out of the hand3709 of the king4428 of Assyria0804? 32:12 Hath not the same Hezekiah3169 taken away5493 his high places1116 and his altars4196, and commanded0559 Judah3063 and Jerusalem3389, saying0559, Ye shall worship7812 before6440 one0259 altar4196, and burn incense6999 upon it? 32:13 Know3045 ye not what I and my fathers0001 have done6213 unto all the people5971 of {other} lands0776? were the gods0430 of the nations1471 of those lands0776 any ways3201 able3201 to deliver5337 their lands0776 out of mine hand3027? 32:14 Who {was there} among all the gods0430 of those nations1471 that my fathers0001 utterly destroyed2763, that could3201 deliver5337 his people5971 out of mine hand3027, that your God0430 should be able3201 to deliver5337 you out of mine hand3027? 32:15 Now therefore let not3808 Hezekiah2396 deceive5377 you, nor persuade5496 you on this manner, neither yet believe0539 him: for no god0433 of any nation1471 or kingdom4467 was able3201 to deliver5337 his people5971 out of mine hand3027, and out of the hand3027 of my fathers0001: how much less shall your God0430 deliver5337 you out of mine hand3027? 32:16 And his servants5650 spake1696 yet {more} against the LORD3068 God0430, and against his servant5650 Hezekiah3169. 32:17 He wrote3789 also letters5612 to rail2778 on the LORD3068 God0430 of Israel3478, and to speak0559 against him, saying0559, As the gods0430 of the nations1471 of {other} lands0776 have not delivered5337 their people5971 out of mine hand3027, so shall not the God0430 of Hezekiah3169 deliver5337 his people5971 out of mine hand3027. 32:18 Then they cried7121 with a loud1419 voice6963 in the Jews' speech3066 unto the people5971 of Jerusalem3389 that {were} on the wall2346, to affright3372 them, and to trouble0926 them; that they might take3920 the city5892. 32:19 And they spake1696 against5921 the God0430 of Jerusalem3389, as against the gods0430 of the people5971 of the earth0776, {which were} the work4639 of the hands3027 of man0120. 32:20 And for this {cause} Hezekiah3169 the king4428, and the prophet5030 Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz0531, prayed6419 and cried2199 to heaven8064. 32:21 And the LORD3068 sent7971 an angel4397, which cut off3582 all the mighty men1368 of valour2428, and the leaders5057 and captains8269 in the camp4264 of the king4428 of Assyria0804. So he returned7725 with shame1322 of face6440 to his own land0776. And when he was come0935 into the house1004 of his god0430, they that came forth3329 of his own bowels4578 slew5307 him there with the sword2719. 32:22 Thus the LORD3068 saved3467 Hezekiah3169 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 from the hand3027 of Sennacherib5576 the king4428 of Assyria0804, and from the hand3027 of all {other}, and guided5095 them on every side5439. 32:23 And many7227 brought0935 gifts4503 unto the LORD3068 to Jerusalem3389, and presents4030 to Hezekiah3169 king4428 of Judah3063: so that he was magnified5375 in the sight5869 of all nations1471 from thenceforth0310. 32:24 In those days3117 Hezekiah3169 was sick2470 to the death4191, and prayed6419 unto the LORD3068: and he spake0559 unto him, and he gave5414 him a sign4159. 32:25 But Hezekiah3169 rendered not again7725 according to the benefit1576 {done} unto him; for his heart3820 was lifted up1361: therefore there was wrath7110 upon him, and upon Judah3063 and Jerusalem3389. 32:26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah3169 humbled3665 himself for the pride1363 of his heart3820, {both} he and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389, so that the wrath7110 of the LORD3068 came0935 not upon them in the days3117 of Hezekiah3169. 32:27 And Hezekiah3169 had exceeding3966 much7235 riches6239 and honour3519: and he made6213 himself treasuries0214 for silver3701, and for gold2091, and for precious3368 stones0068, and for spices1314, and for shields4043, and for all manner of pleasant2532 jewels3627; 32:28 Storehouses4543 also for the increase8393 of corn1715, and wine8492, and oil3323; and stalls0723 for all manner of beasts0929, and cotes0220 for flocks5739. 32:29 Moreover he provided6213 him cities5892, and possessions4735 of flocks6629 and herds1241 in abundance7230: for God0430 had given5414 him substance7399 very3966 much7227. 32:30 This same Hezekiah3169 also stopped5640 the upper5945 watercourse4161-4325 of Gihon1521, and brought it straight3474 down4295 to the west side4628 of the city5892 of David1732. And Hezekiah3169 prospered6743 in all his works4639. 32:31 Howbeit3651 in {the business of} the ambassadors3887 of the princes8269 of Babylon0894, who sent7971 unto him to enquire1875 of the wonder4159 that was {done} in the land0776, God0430 left5800 him, to try5254 him, that he might know3045 all {that was} in his heart3824. 32:32 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Hezekiah3169, and his goodness2617, behold, they {are} written3789 in the vision2377 of Isaiah3470 the prophet5030, the son1121 of Amoz0531, {and} in the book5612 of the kings4428 of Judah3063 and Israel3478. 32:33 And Hezekiah3169 slept7901 with his fathers0001, and they buried6912 him in the chiefest4608 of the sepulchres6913 of the sons1121 of David1732: and all Judah3063 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 did him6213 honour3519 at his death4194. And Manasseh4519 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
