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:

6 Y puso capitanes de guerra sobre el pueblo, y los hizo reunir as铆 en la plaza de la puerta de la ciudad, y les habl贸 al coraz贸n de ellos, diciendo:
