2 Chronicles 32:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Hezekiah took courage and rebuilt all of the walls that had been broken down. Then he erected watch towers on them, and added another external wall. He fortified the terrace ramparts^[a] in the City of David and prepared a large number of weapons and shields. ⁶ He appointed military officers to take charge of the people, who gathered them together in the square near the city gate and spoke to them encouragingly, ⁷ “Be strong and courageous.^[b] Don’t be afraid or disheartened because of the king of Assyria or because of the army that accompanies him, because the one who is with us is greater than the one with him.
