2 Cronache 32:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:5

Also he strengthened himself
In the Lord his God, and fortified his city, and put it in the best manner of defence he could:

and built up all the wall that was broken;
which was broken from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate by Joash king of Israel; and though it might have been repaired by Uzziah, it might again be broken down in the times of Ahaz, by Pekah, king of Israel, or some other enemy, see ( 2 Chronicles 25:3 ) ( 26:9 ) ( 2 Chronicles 28:6 2 Chronicles 28:7 )

and raised it up to the towers;
from the corner tower to the tower of the gate of Ephraim, which, as before observed, had been broken down:

and another wall without;
a second wall, either all around the city, or at such a part of it which was weakest; Josephus F26 says the city of Jerusalem had three walls about it:

and repaired Millo in the city of David;
a wall on the north side of the city:

and made darts and shields in abundance;
darts to cast from the walls of the city, to annoy the enemy with, and shields to defend them from those of the enemy.

2 Cronache 32:5 In-Context

3 si consigliò co’ suoi principali ufficiali, e co’ suoi uomini di valore, di turar le acque delle fonti ch’erano fuor della città; ed essi gli prestarono aiuto.
4 Ed un gran popolo si adunò, e turarono tutte le fonti, e il torrente che si spande per mezzo la contrada, dicendo: Perchè i re degli Assiri, venendo, troverebbero essi copia d’acque?
5 Egli prese eziandio animo di ristorar tutte le mura rotte, e le alzò fino alle torri; e di fuori edificò un altro muro. Egli fortificò ancora Millo, nella Città di Davide; e fece far dardi e scudi in gran quantità.
6 Ed ordinò capitani di guerra sopra il popolo, e li adunò appresso di sè nella piazza della porta della città, e li confortò, dicendo:
7 Prendete animo, e fortificatevi; non temiate, e non vi spaventate per lo re degli Assiri, nè per tutta la moltitudine che è con lui; perciocchè con noi v’è uno maggiore che con lui.
