2 Chronicles 32:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ So Hezekiah and his ·officers [officials] and army ·commanders [officers] decided to ·cut off [stop the flow of] the water from the springs outside the city. So they helped Hezekiah. ⁴ Many people ·came [gathered] and ·cut off [stopped up] all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. They said, “Why should the king of Assyria come and find ·plenty of [abundant] water?” ⁵ Then Hezekiah ·made Jerusalem stronger. He […took courage/or worked hard/^Lstrengthened himself and] rebuilt all the broken parts of the wall and ·put [erected; raised] towers on it. He also built another wall outside the first one and strengthened the ·area that was filled in on the east side [^LMillo; ^Cpossibly fortified terraces] of the City of David [^CJerusalem]. He also made many weapons and shields.
