2 Chronicles 32:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Sennacherib Warns Jerusalem

32 Hezekiah had been completely faithful to the Lord. However, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and marched into Judah. Sennacherib surrounded the cities that had high walls around them. He got ready to attack them. He thought he could win the battle over them. He thought he could take them for himself. ² Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to Jerusalem to fight against it. ³ So he asked his officials and military leaders for advice. He asked them about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city. They gave him the advice he asked for.
