Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Chronicles 31
¹⁸ The genealogical enrollment included all their little children, their wives, their sons and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves faithfully in holiness.
¹⁹ Also for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the pasture lands of their cities, or in each and every city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone genealogically enrolled among the Levites.
²⁰ Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good, right and true before the Lord his God.
²¹ Every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered.
2 Chronicles 32
¹ After these acts of faithfulness Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and besieged the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.
² Now when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to make war on Jerusalem,
³ he decided with his officers and his warriors to cut off the supply of water from the springs which were outside the city, and they helped him.
⁴ So many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream which flowed through the region, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water?"
⁵ And he took courage and rebuilt all the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and built another outside wall and strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number.
⁶ He appointed military officers over the people and gathered them to him in the square at the city gate, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
⁷ "Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him.
