14:032:012 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his
           altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall
           worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

14:032:013 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the
           people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those
           lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?

14:032:014 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my
           fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out
           of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out
           of mine hand?

14:032:015 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you
           on this manner, neither yet believe him:  for no god of any
           nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine
           hand, and out of the hand of my fathers:  how much less shall
           your God deliver you out of mine hand?

14:032:016 And his servants spake yet more against the lord God, and
           against his servant Hezekiah.

14:032:017 He wrote also letters to rail on the lord God of Israel, and
           to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of
           other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand,
           so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of
           mine hand.

14:032:018 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ speech unto the
           people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them,
           and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

14:032:019 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the
           gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the
           hands of man.

14:032:020 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah
           the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

14:032:021 And the lord sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men
           of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the
           king of Assyria.  So he returned with shame of face to his own
           land.  And when he was come into the house of his god, they
           that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the
           sword.

14:032:022 Thus the lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
           from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the
           hand of all other, and guided them on every side.

14:032:023 And many brought gifts unto the lord to Jerusalem, and
           presents to Hezekiah king of Judah:  so that he was magnified
           in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

14:032:024 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto
           the lord:  and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.
