2 Crónicas 32:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:4

So there was gathered much people together
At the instance of Hezekiah, his nobles and officers:

who stopped all the fountains;
perhaps by laying planks over them, and earth upon them, so that it could not be discerned there were any fountains there:

saying, why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?
by which means they would be able to carry on the siege to a great length, when otherwise they would be obliged to raise it quickly: mention is made of kings of Assyria, though there was but one, with whom there might be petty kings, or tributary ones; and, besides, as he boasted, his princes were altogether kings, ( Isaiah 10:8 ) .

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.
6 Luego puso jefes militares al frente del ej茅rcito y, luego de reunirlos en la plaza frente a la puerta de la ciudad, los areng贸 con estas palabras:
