2 Chronicles 32:1-8
2 Chronicles 32:1-8 NCV
After Hezekiah did all these things to serve the LORD, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and attacked Judah. He and his army surrounded and attacked the strong, walled cities, hoping to take them for himself. Hezekiah knew that Sennacherib had come to Jerusalem to attack it. So Hezekiah and his officers and army commanders decided to cut off the water from the springs outside the city. So the officers and commanders helped Hezekiah. Many people came and cut off all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. They said, “The king of Assyria will not find much water when he comes here.” Then Hezekiah made Jerusalem stronger. He rebuilt all the broken parts of the wall and put towers on it. He also built another wall outside the first one and strengthened the area that was filled in on the east side of the old part of Jerusalem. He also made many weapons and shields. Hezekiah put army commanders over the people and met with them at the open place near the city gate. Hezekiah encouraged them, saying, “Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid or worried because of the king of Assyria or his large army. There is a greater power with us than with him. He only has men, but we have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” The people were encouraged by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
