14:031:019 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the
           fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city,
           the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all
           the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by
           genealogies among the Levites.

14:031:020 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that
           which was good and right and truth before the lord his God.

14:031:021 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of
           God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God,
           he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

14:032:001 After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib
           king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped
           against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for
           himself.

14:032:002 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he
           was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

14:032:003 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop
           the waters of the fountains which were without the city:  and
           they did help him.

14:032:004 So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all
           the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the
           land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find
           much water?

14:032:005 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that
           was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall
           without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made
           darts and shields in abundance.

14:032:006 And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them
           together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and
           spake comfortably to them, saying,

14:032:007 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the
           king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: 
           for there be more with us than with him: 

14:032:008 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the lord our God
           to help us, and to fight our battles.  And the people rested
           themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

14:032:009 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants
           to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and
           all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto
           all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

14:032:010 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust,
           that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

14:032:011 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die
           by famine and by thirst, saying, The lord our God shall
           deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
