00:00.000 --> 00:06.240
Chapter 32 After these things and the
establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of

00:06.240 --> 00:10.400
Assyria came and entered into Judah,
and encamped against the fenced cities,

00:10.880 --> 00:12.300
and thought to win them for himself.

00:13.040 --> 00:17.020
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was
come, and that he was purposed to fight

00:17.020 --> 00:21.740
against Jerusalem, he took counsel with
his princes and his mighty men to stop the

00:21.740 --> 00:23.980
waters of the fountains which were without
the city.

00:24.560 --> 00:25.560
And they did help him.

00:26.140 --> 00:29.680
So there was gathered much people
together, who stopped all the fountains

00:29.680 --> 00:33.460
and the brook that ran through the midst
of the land, saying, Why should the kings

00:33.460 --> 00:36.120
of Assyria come and find much water?

00:36.600 --> 00:41.160
Also he strengthened himself, and built up
all the wall that was broken, and raised

00:41.160 --> 00:45.660
it up to the towers, and another wall
without, and repaired millow in the city

00:45.660 --> 00:48.620
of David, and made darts and shields in
abundance.

00:49.180 --> 00:53.240
And he set captains of war over the
people, and gathered them together to him

00:53.240 --> 00:56.460
in the street of the gate of the city,
and spake comfortably to them,

00:56.760 --> 00:59.440
saying, Be strong and courageous.

01:00.220 --> 01:06.000
Be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of
Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is

01:06.000 --> 01:06.460
with him.

01:07.240 --> 01:09.740
For there be more with us than with him.

01:10.460 --> 01:17.540
With him is an arm of flesh, but with us
is the Lord our God to help us and to

01:17.540 --> 01:18.400
fight our battles.

01:18.760 --> 01:22.420
And the people rested themselves upon the
words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

01:22.920 --> 01:26.500
After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria
send his servants to Jerusalem.

01:26.500 --> 01:30.820
But he himself laid siege against Lachish,
and all his power with him.

01:31.720 --> 01:36.080
Unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all
Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

01:36.340 --> 01:41.140
Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Whereon do ye trust that ye abide in the

01:41.140 --> 01:41.940
siege in Jerusalem?

01:42.640 --> 01:47.100
Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give
over yourselves to die by famine and by

01:47.100 --> 01:51.560
thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall
deliver us out of the hand of the king of

01:51.560 --> 01:52.080
Assyria?

01:52.840 --> 01:57.720
Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his
high places and his altars, and commanded

01:57.720 --> 02:02.700
Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall
worship before one altar, and burn incense

02:02.700 --> 02:03.320
upon it?

02:03.820 --> 02:08.020
Know ye not what I and my fathers have
done unto all the people of other lands?

02:08.520 --> 02:12.600
Were the gods of the nations of those
lands any ways able to deliver their lands

02:12.600 --> 02:13.620
out of mine hand?

02:14.040 --> 02:18.220
Who was there among all the gods of those
nations that my fathers utterly destroyed,

02:18.840 --> 02:20.800
that could deliver his people out of mine
hand?

02:20.800 --> 02:23.680
That your God should be able to deliver
you out of mine hand?

02:24.160 --> 02:28.680
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive
you, nor persuade you on this manner,

02:28.960 --> 02:30.140
neither yet believe him.

02:30.480 --> 02:34.780
For no god of any nation or kingdom was
able to deliver his people out of mine

02:34.780 --> 02:37.080
hand, and out of the hand of my fathers.

02:37.520 --> 02:40.660
How much less shall your God deliver you
out of mine hand?

02:40.940 --> 02:44.680
And his servants spake yet more against
the Lord God, and against his servant

02:44.680 --> 02:45.240
Hezekiah.

02:45.860 --> 02:50.080
He wrote also letters to rail on the Lord
God of Israel, and to speak against him,

02:50.320 --> 02:53.280
saying, As the gods of the nations of
other lands have not delivered their

02:53.280 --> 02:57.560
people out of mine hand, so shall not the
God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of

02:57.560 --> 02:58.120
mine hand.

02:58.540 --> 03:02.540
Then they cried with a loud voice in the
Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem

03:02.540 --> 03:07.000
that were on the wall, to affright them,
and to trouble them, that they might take

03:07.000 --> 03:07.400
the city.

03:07.980 --> 03:11.560
And they spake against the God of
Jerusalem, as against the gods of the

03:11.560 --> 03:14.480
people of the earth, which were the work
of the hands of man.

03:15.000 --> 03:19.220
And for this cause Hezekiah the king,
and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz,

03:19.720 --> 03:20.940
prayed and cried to heaven.

03:21.780 --> 03:25.620
And the Lord sent an angel, which cut off
all the mighty men of valor, and the

03:25.620 --> 03:28.180
leaders and captains, in the camp of the
king of Assyria.

03:29.000 --> 03:31.760
So he returned with shame of face to his
own land.

03:32.580 --> 03:36.320
And when he was come into the house of his
God, they that came forth of his own

03:36.320 --> 03:38.620
bowels slew him there with the sword.

03:39.100 --> 03:43.300
Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of

03:43.300 --> 03:46.700
Sennacherib the king of Assyria,
and from the hand of all other,

03:47.180 --> 03:48.740
and guided them on every side.

03:49.700 --> 03:53.800
And many brought gifts unto the Lord to
Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king

03:53.800 --> 03:57.940
of Judah, so that he was magnified in the
sight of all nations from thenceforth.

03:58.800 --> 04:02.640
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the
death, and prayed unto the Lord.

04:03.160 --> 04:05.740
And he spake unto him, and he gave him a
sign.

04:05.740 --> 04:10.900
But Hezekiah rendered not again according
to the benefit done unto him, for his

04:10.900 --> 04:11.900
heart was lifted up.

04:12.740 --> 04:15.640
Therefore there was wrath upon him,
and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

04:16.900 --> 04:21.200
Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself
for the pride of his heart, both he and

04:21.200 --> 04:25.100
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the
wrath of the Lord came not upon them in

04:25.100 --> 04:26.100
the days of Hezekiah.

04:26.640 --> 04:29.160
And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and
honour.

04:29.860 --> 04:34.000
And he made himself treasuries for silver
and for gold, and for precious stones,

04:34.420 --> 04:38.360
and for spices, and for shields,
and for all manner of pleasant jewels.

04:39.220 --> 04:44.020
Storehouses also for the increase of corn
and wine and oil, and stalls for all

04:44.020 --> 04:46.480
manner of beasts, and coats for flocks.

04:47.220 --> 04:51.020
Moreover he provided him cities,
and possessions of flocks and herds in

04:51.020 --> 04:54.300
abundance, for God had given him substance
very much.

04:55.260 --> 05:00.000
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper
water course of Gihon, and brought it

05:00.000 --> 05:01.960
straight down to the west side of the city
of David.

05:01.960 --> 05:05.020
And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

05:06.360 --> 05:10.320
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors
of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto

05:10.320 --> 05:15.160
him to inquire of the wonder that was done
in the land, God left him to try him,

05:15.600 --> 05:17.440
that he might know all that was in his
heart.

05:18.220 --> 05:22.520
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and
his goodness, behold, they are written in

05:22.520 --> 05:26.220
the vision of Isaiah the prophet,
the son of Amoz, and in the book of the

05:26.220 --> 05:27.300
kings of Judah and Israel.

05:28.060 --> 05:31.940
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers,
and they buried him in the chiefest of the

05:31.940 --> 05:33.400
sepulchres of the sons of David.

05:34.020 --> 05:37.940
And all Judah and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem did him honor at his death.

05:38.740 --> 05:41.060
And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
