Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Chronicles 31
¹⁸ and to all who were written in the genealogy--their little ones and their wives, their sons and daughters, the whole company of them--for in their faithfulness they sanctified themselves in holiness.
¹⁹ Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common-lands of their cities, in every single city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogies among the Levites.
²⁰ Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.
²¹ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.
2 Chronicles 32
¹ After these deeds of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself.
² And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,
³ he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him.
⁴ Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?"
⁵ And he strengthened himself, built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired the Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
⁶ Then he set military captains over the people, gathered them together to him in the open square of the city gate, and gave them encouragement, saying,
⁷ "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him.
