In Context

1 After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them.

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

3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the fountains of waters that were outside the city; and they helped him.

4 And there was gathered together much people, and they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flows through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?

5 And he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside, and fortified the Millo of the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
