2 Crónicas 32:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:1

After these things, and the establishment thereof
What are recorded in the preceding chapters, when matters were well settled, especially with respect to religion and temple service, and when Hezekiah was well established in the throne of his kingdom, had fought with and defeated the Philistines, and cast off the Assyrian yoke, and was in very prosperous circumstances; for it was in the fourteenth year of his reign that what follows was done:

Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and encamped
against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself;
or to break them, or into them; or through them F25 to break down the walls to take them, and join them to himself, as the Targum, and he did take them, see ( 2 Kings 18:13 ) .

2 Crónicas 32:1 In-Context

1 Despu茅s de semejante muestra de fidelidad por parte de Ezequ铆as, Senaquerib, rey de Asiria, march贸 contra Jud谩 y siti贸 las ciudades fortificadas, dispuesto a conquistarlas.
2 Cuando Ezequ铆as se enter贸 de que Senaquerib se dirig铆a tambi茅n hacia Jerusal茅n con el prop贸sito de atacarla,
3 se reuni贸 con sus jefes civiles y militares y les propuso cegar los manantiales que hab铆a fuera de la ciudad, y ellos lo apoyaron.
4 Entonces se junt贸 mucha gente, y entre todos cegaron los manantiales y el arroyo que atravesaba la regi贸n, pues no quer铆an que al llegar los reyes de Asiria encontraran agua en abundancia.
5 Arm谩ndose de valor, Ezequ铆as reconstruy贸 toda la muralla que hab铆a sido derribada y levant贸 torres sobre ella; tambi茅n construy贸 un muro exterior, fortific贸 los terraplenes de la Ciudad de David, y mand贸 fabricar muchas lanzas y escudos.
