For Ahaz [0271] took away a portion [02505] out of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068], and out of the house [01004] of the king [04428], and of the princes [08269], and gave [05414] it unto the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: but he helped [05833] him not.
So the posts [07323] went [03212] with the letters [0107] from [03027] the king [04428] and his princes [08269] throughout all Israel [03478] and Judah [03063], and according to the commandment [04687] of the king [04428], saying [0559], Ye children [01121] of Israel [03478], turn again [07725] unto the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Israel [03478], and he will return [07725] to the remnant [07604] of you, that are escaped [06413] out of the hand [03709] of the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804].from: Heb. from the hand
After [0310] these things [01697], and the establishment [0571] thereof, Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came [0935], and entered [0935] into Judah [03063], and encamped [02583] against the fenced [01219] cities [05892], and thought [0559] to win [01234] them for himself.to win…: Heb. to break them up
So there was gathered [06908] much [07227] people [05971] together [06908], who stopped [05640] all the fountains [04599], and the brook [05158] that ran [07857] through the midst [08432] of the land [0776], saying [0559], Why should the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] come [0935], and find [04672] much [07227] water [04325]?ran: Heb. overflowed
Be strong [02388] and courageous [0553], be not afraid [03372] nor dismayed [02865] for [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], nor for all the multitude [01995] that is with him: for there be more [07227] with us than with him:
After [0310] this did Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] send [07971] his servants [05650] to Jerusalem [03389], (but he himself laid siege against Lachish [03923], and all his power [04475] with him,) unto Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and unto all Judah [03063] that were at Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559],power: Heb. dominion
Thus saith [0559] Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], Whereon do ye trust [0982], that ye abide [03427] in the siege [04692] in Jerusalem [03389]?siege: or, strong hold
Doth not Hezekiah [03169] persuade [05496] you to give [05414] over yourselves to die [04191] by famine [07458] and by thirst [06772], saying [0559], The Lord [03068] our God [0430] shall deliver [05337] us out of the hand [03709] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]?
And the Lord [03068] sent [07971] an angel [04397], which cut off [03582] all the mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], and the leaders [05057] and captains [08269] in the camp [04264] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. So he returned [07725] with shame [01322] of face [06440] to his own land [0776]. And when he was come [0935] into the house [01004] of his god [0430], they that came forth [03329] of his own bowels [04578] slew [05307] him there with the sword [02719].slew…: Heb. made him fall
Thus the Lord [03068] saved [03467] Hezekiah [03169] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] from the hand [03027] of Sennacherib [05576] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and from the hand [03027] of all other, and guided [05095] them on every side [05439].
Wherefore the Lord [03068] brought [0935] upon them the captains of [08269] the host of [06635] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], which took [03920] Manasseh [04519] among the thorns [02336], and bound him [0631] with fetters [05178], and carried [03212] him to Babylon [0894].of the king: Heb. which were the king'sfetters: or, chains
