AfterH310 these thingsH1697, and the establishmentH571 thereof, SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935, and enteredH935 into JudahH3063, and encampedH2583 against the fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and thoughtH559 to winH1234 them for himself. {to win…: Heb. to break them up}
And when HezekiahH3169 sawH7200 that SennacheribH5576 was comeH935, and that he was purposedH6440 to fightH4421 against JerusalemH3389, {he was…: Heb. his face was to war}
He took counselH3289 with his princesH8269 and his mighty menH1368 to stopH5640 the watersH4325 of the fountainsH5869 which were withoutH2351 the cityH5892: and they did helpH5826 him.
So there was gatheredH6908 muchH7227 peopleH5971 togetherH6908, who stoppedH5640 all the fountainsH4599, and the brookH5158 that ranH7857 through the midstH8432 of the landH776, sayingH559, Why should the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 comeH935, and findH4672 muchH7227 waterH4325? {ran: Heb. overflowed}
Also he strengthenedH2388 himself, and built upH1129 all the wallH2346 that was brokenH6555, and raised it upH5927 to the towersH4026, and anotherH312 wallH2346 withoutH2351, and repairedH2388 MilloH4407 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and madeH6213 dartsH7973 and shieldsH4043 in abundanceH7230. {darts: or, swords, or, weapons}
And he setH5414 captainsH8269 of warH4421 over the peopleH5971, and gathered them togetherH6908 to him in the streetH7339 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and spakeH1696 comfortablyH3824 to them, sayingH559, {spake…: Heb. he spoke to their heart}
Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 forH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, nor for all the multitudeH1995 that is with him: for there be moreH7227 with us than with him:
With him is an armH2220 of fleshH1320; but with us is the LORDH3068 our GodH430 to helpH5826 us, and to fightH3898 our battlesH4421. And the peopleH5971 restedH5564 themselves upon the wordsH1697 of HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. {rested…: Heb. leaned}
AfterH310 this did SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sendH7971 his servantsH5650 to JerusalemH3389, (but he himself laid siege against LachishH3923, and all his powerH4475 with him,) unto HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all JudahH3063 that were at JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, {power: Heb. dominion}
Thus saithH559 SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, Whereon do ye trustH982, that ye abideH3427 in the siegeH4692 in JerusalemH3389? {siege: or, strong hold}
Doth not HezekiahH3169 persuadeH5496 you to giveH5414 over yourselves to dieH4191 by famineH7458 and by thirstH6772, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Hath not the same HezekiahH3169 taken awayH5493 his high placesH1116 and his altarsH4196, and commandedH559 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 oneH259 altarH4196, and burn incenseH6999 upon it?
KnowH3045 ye not what I and my fathersH1 have doneH6213 unto all the peopleH5971 of other landsH776? were the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 of those landsH776 any waysH3201 ableH3201 to deliverH5337 their landsH776 out of mine handH3027?
Who was there among all the godsH430 of those nationsH1471 that my fathersH1 utterly destroyedH2763, that couldH3201 deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of mine handH3027, that your GodH430 should be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 you out of mine handH3027?
Now therefore let notH3808 HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5377 you, nor persuadeH5496 you on this manner, neither yet believeH539 him: for no godH433 of any nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 was ableH3201 to deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of mine handH3027, and out of the handH3027 of my fathersH1: how much less shall your GodH430 deliverH5337 you out of mine handH3027?
And his servantsH5650 spakeH1696 yet more against the LORDH3068 GodH430, and against his servantH5650 HezekiahH3169.
He wroteH3789 also lettersH5612 to railH2778 on the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and to speakH559 against him, sayingH559, As the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 of other landsH776 have not deliveredH5337 their peopleH5971 out of mine handH3027, so shall not the GodH430 of HezekiahH3169 deliverH5337 his peopleH5971 out of mine handH3027.
Then they criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in the Jews' speechH3066 unto the peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 that were on the wallH2346, to affrightH3372 them, and to troubleH926 them; that they might takeH3920 the cityH5892.
And they spakeH1696 againstH5921 the GodH430 of JerusalemH3389, as against the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, which were the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of manH120.
And for this cause HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428, and the prophetH5030 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, prayedH6419 and criedH2199 to heavenH8064.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 an angelH4397, which cut offH3582 all the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, and the leadersH5057 and captainsH8269 in the campH4264 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So he returnedH7725 with shameH1322 of faceH6440 to his own landH776. And when he was comeH935 into the houseH1004 of his godH430, they that came forthH3329 of his own bowelsH4578 slewH5307 him there with the swordH2719. {slew…: Heb. made him fall}
Thus the LORDH3068 savedH3467 HezekiahH3169 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 from the handH3027 of SennacheribH5576 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and from the handH3027 of all other, and guidedH5095 them on every sideH5439.
And manyH7227 broughtH935 giftsH4503 unto the LORDH3068 to JerusalemH3389, and presentsH4030 to HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: so that he was magnifiedH5375 in the sightH5869 of all nationsH1471 from thenceforthH310. {presents: Heb. precious things}
In those daysH3117 HezekiahH3169 was sickH2470 to the deathH4191, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068: and he spakeH559 unto him, and he gaveH5414 him a signH4159. {gave…: or, wrought a miracle for him}
But HezekiahH3169 rendered not againH7725 according to the benefitH1576 done unto him; for his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361: therefore there was wrathH7110 upon him, and upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
Notwithstanding HezekiahH3169 humbledH3665 himself for the prideH1363 of his heartH3820, both he and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, so that the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 not upon them in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH3169. {pride: Heb. lifting up}
And HezekiahH3169 had exceedingH3966 muchH7235 richesH6239 and honourH3519: and he madeH6213 himself treasuriesH214 for silverH3701, and for goldH2091, and for preciousH3368 stonesH68, and for spicesH1314, and for shieldsH4043, and for all manner of pleasantH2532 jewelsH3627; {pleasant…: Heb. instruments of desire}
StorehousesH4543 also for the increaseH8393 of cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323; and stallsH723 for all manner of beastsH929, and cotesH220 for flocksH5739.
Moreover he providedH6213 him citiesH5892, and possessionsH4735 of flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 in abundanceH7230: for GodH430 had givenH5414 him substanceH7399 veryH3966 muchH7227.
This same HezekiahH3169 also stoppedH5640 the upperH5945 watercourseH4161+H4325 of GihonH1521, and brought it straightH3474 downH4295 to the west sideH4628 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And HezekiahH3169 prosperedH6743 in all his worksH4639.
HowbeitH3651 in the business of the ambassadorsH3887 of the princesH8269 of BabylonH894, who sentH7971 unto him to enquireH1875 of the wonderH4159 that was done in the landH776, GodH430 leftH5800 him, to tryH5254 him, that he might knowH3045 all that was in his heartH3824. {ambassadors: Heb. interpreters}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of HezekiahH3169, and his goodnessH2617, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531, and in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478. {goodness: Heb. kindnesses}
And HezekiahH3169 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the chiefestH4608 of the sepulchresH6913 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 did himH6213 honourH3519 at his deathH4194. And ManassehH4519 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}

At that timeH6256 BerodachbaladanH1255, the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 unto HezekiahH2396: for he had heardH8085 that HezekiahH2396 had been sickH2470. {Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan}
And HezekiahH2396 saidH559 unto IsaiahH3470, What shall be the signH226 that the LORDH3068 will healH7495 me, and that I shall go upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 the thirdH7992 dayH3117?
And IsaiahH3470 saidH559, This signH226 shalt thou have of the LORDH3068, that the LORDH3068 will doH6213 the thingH1697 that he hath spokenH1696: shall the shadowH6738 go forwardH1980 tenH6235 degreesH4609, or go backH7725 tenH6235 degreesH4609?
And HezekiahH3169 answeredH559, It is a light thingH7043 for the shadowH6738 to go downH5186 tenH6235 degreesH4609: nay, but let the shadowH6738 returnH7725 backwardH322 tenH6235 degreesH4609.
And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068: and he broughtH7725 the shadowH6738 tenH6235 degreesH4609 backwardH322, byH4609 which it had gone downH3381 in the dialH4609 of AhazH271. {dial: Heb. degrees}
And she saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and saidH559, I will go outH3318 as at other times beforeH6471, and shakeH5287 myself. And he wistH3045 not that the LORDH3068 was departedH5493 from him.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that GodH430 did temptH5254 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, AbrahamH85: and he saidH559, Behold, here I am. {Behold…: Heb. Behold me}
And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 ledH3212 thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humbleH6031 thee, and to proveH5254 thee, to knowH3045 what was in thine heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or no.
And HezekiahH2396 hearkenedH8085 unto them, and shewedH7200 them all the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH5238, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the preciousH2896 ointmentH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armourH3627, and all that was foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there was nothingH1697 in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 shewedH7200 them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels}
Behold, I will bring againH7725 the shadowH6738 of the degreesH4609, which is gone downH3381 in the sunH8121 dialH4609 of AhazH271, tenH6235 degreesH4609 backwardH322. So the sunH8121 returnedH7725 tenH6235 degreesH4609, by which degreesH4609 it was gone downH3381. {sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun}
HideH5641 not thy faceH6440 far from me; putH5186 not thy servantH5650 awayH5186 in angerH639: thou hast been my helpH5833; leaveH5203 me not, neither forsakeH5800 me, O GodH430 of my salvationH3468.
And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 ledH3212 thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humbleH6031 thee, and to proveH5254 thee, to knowH3045 what was in thine heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or no.
Thou shalt not hearkenH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 provethH5254 you, to knowH3045 whether yeH3426 loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
At that timeH6256 MerodachbaladanH4757, the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 to HezekiahH2396: for he had heardH8085 that he had been sickH2470, and was recoveredH2388.
Who fedH398 thee in the wildernessH4057 with mannaH4478, which thy fathersH1 knewH3045 not, that he might humbleH6031 thee, and that he might proveH5254 thee, to do thee goodH3190 at thy latter endH319;
And HezekiahH2396 was gladH8055 of them, and shewedH7200 them the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH5238, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the preciousH2896 ointmentH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armourH3627, and all that was foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there was nothingH1697 in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 shewedH7200 them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments}
Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 unto him, What saidH559 these menH582? and from whenceH370 cameH935 they unto thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They are comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776 unto me, even from BabylonH894.
Then saidH559 he, What have they seenH7200 in thine houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answeredH559, All that is in mine houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothingH1697 among my treasuresH214 that I have not shewedH7200 them.
Then saidH559 IsaiahH3470 to HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 until this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 to IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which thou hast spokenH1696. He saidH559 moreover, For there shall be peaceH7965 and truthH571 in my daysH3117.
RestoreH7725 unto me the joyH8342 of thy salvationH3468; and upholdH5564 me with thy freeH5081 spiritH7307.
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 all that he hath, and he will curseH1288+H3808 thee to thy faceH6440. {and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}
UpholdH5564 me according unto thy wordH565, that I may liveH2421: and let me not be ashamedH954 of my hopeH7664.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy powerH3027; only upon himself put not forthH7971 thine handH3027. So SatanH7854 went forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068. {power: Heb. hand}
Hold thou me upH5582, and I shall be safeH3467: and I will have respectH8159 unto thy statutesH2706 continuallyH8548.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thouH7760 consideredH3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? and still he holdeth fastH2388 his integrityH8538, although thou movedstH5496 me against him, to destroyH1104 him without causeH2600. {to destroy…: Heb. to swallow him up}
And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, SkinH5785 for skinH5785, yea, all that a manH376 hath will he giveH5414 for his lifeH5315.
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, and he will curseH1288 thee to thy faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, he is in thine handH3027; but saveH8104 his lifeH5315. {but: or, only}
IG1473 amG1510 the vineG288, yeG5210 are the branchesG2814: He that abidethG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846, the sameG3778 bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590: forG3754 withoutG5565 meG1700 ye canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756+G3762. {without me: or, severed from me}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O LORDH3068, thou hast searchedH2713 me, and knownH3045 me.
Thou knowestH3045 my downsittingH3427 and mine uprisingH6965, thou understandestH995 my thoughtH7454 afar offH7350.
And seeH7200 if there be any wickedH6090 wayH1870 in me, and leadH5148 me in the wayH1870 everlastingH5769. {wicked…: Heb. way of pain, or, grief}
The fining potH4715 is for silverH3701, and the furnaceH3564 for goldH2091: but the LORDH3068 triethH974 the heartsH3826.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
ThatG2443 the trialG1383 of yourG5216 faithG4102, being muchG4183 more preciousG5093 than of goldG5553 that perishethG622, thoughG1223+G1161 it be triedG1381 with fireG4442, might be foundG2147 untoG1519 praiseG1868 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391 atG1722 the appearingG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
