2 Chronicles 32:2 In-Context

1 After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came , and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.

2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come , and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.

4 So there was gathered much people together , who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying , Why should the kings of Assyria come , and find much water?

5 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken , and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
