1After all this went down, Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, pulled up on Judah and set up camp against the cities, thinking he could flex on them.

2When Hezekiah peeped that Sennacherib was rolling in to throw down against Jerusalem,

3He hit up his crew and the strong dudes to block the water sources outside the city, and they totally had his back.

4So a whole squad gathered to stop all the fountains and the stream running through the land, saying, "Why let the kings of Assyria pull up and find mad water?"

5He also leveled up, fixing the broken wall, raising it to the towers, building another wall outside, and made a ton of darts and shields.

6He put captains in charge of the squad, gathered everyone at the city gate, and gave them a pep talk, saying,

7"Stay strong and brave, don’t sweat the king of Assyria or his whole crew: we got more on our side than he does."

8He’s got the flesh squad; we got the Lord our God backing us up, ready to fight our battles. And the people were vibing with Hezekiah’s words.

9After that, Sennacherib sent his homies to Jerusalem (while he was busy laying siege at Lachish with his whole crew) to Hezekiah and all Judah in Jerusalem, saying,

10"Sennacherib, king of Assyria, asks: What are you trusting in while you’re stuck in a siege in Jerusalem?"

11Yo, Hezekiah ain't tryna get you to just chill and die from hunger and thirst, saying, "Our God will totally save us from the Assyrian king," right?

12Didn't Hezekiah wipe out his high places and altars, telling Judah and Jerusalem, "Y'all gotta worship at one altar and burn incense there"?

13You don't know what me and my fam did to all those other peeps? Were their gods able to save them from my squad?

14Which of the gods from those nations my fam wrecked could save their people from me? Your God ain't got the rizz to save you either.

15So don’t let Hezekiah fool you or convince you otherwise, don’t even believe him: no god from any nation could save their crew from me or my fam, so your God ain't saving you either.

16And his squad kept talking smack about the Lord God and Hezekiah.

17He even sent letters trash-talking the Lord God of Israel, saying, "Just like the gods of other nations couldn't save their peeps, neither can Hezekiah's God save his people."

18Then they yelled loud in the Jews' language to the folks in Jerusalem on the wall, trying to scare them and mess with their vibes to take the city.

19They were trash-talking the God of Jerusalem, just like they did with the gods of the earth, which are just made by human hands.

20Because of all this, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven.

21And the Lord sent an angel, cutting down all the goated warriors and leaders in the Assyrian camp. Dude went back home, totally shook. When he hit up his god's crib, his own fam took him out with the sword.

22So the Lord came through for Hezekiah and the Jerusalem squad, saving them from Sennacherib and all the other threats, guiding them all the way.

23A bunch of peeps brought gifts to the Lord in Jerusalem and showed love to Hezekiah, so he became a big deal in the eyes of all the nations from then on.

24Back in the day, Hezekiah was seriously sick and prayed to the Lord; God spoke to him and dropped a sign.

25But Hezekiah didn’t show love back for all the good stuff God did for him; his heart got too big, so mad vibes hit him, Judah, and Jerusalem.

26Still, Hezekiah kept it humble for his pride, along with the Jerusalem squad, so God’s anger didn’t hit them during Hezekiah’s reign.

27Hezekiah had mad riches and respect; he flexed with treasuries full of silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of dope jewels.

28He also built storehouses for all the corn, wine, and oil; plus, he had stables for all kinds of animals and pens for flocks.

29On top of that, he scored cities and tons of herds and flocks, 'cause God blessed him with mad resources.

30This same Hezekiah also blocked the upper water supply of Gihon and rerouted it straight to the west side of David's city. Hezekiah was thriving in everything he did.

31So, when the Babylonian peeps hit him up to ask about the crazy stuff going down, God dipped for a minute to see what was really good in his heart.

32Now, all the cool things Hezekiah did, for real, they’re in the vision of Isaiah, the prophet dude, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

33Hezekiah passed away and got laid to rest in the flyest tombs of David’s fam, and all of Judah and Jerusalem showed mad respect at his funeral. Then his son Manasseh took over.

1After 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.

2And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

3He 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.

4So 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?

5Also 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.

6And 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,

7Be 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:

8With 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.

9After 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,

10Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

11Doth 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?

12Hath 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?

13Know 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?

14Who 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?

15Now 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?

16And his servants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

17He 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.

18Then 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.

19And 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.

20And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

21And 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.

22Thus 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.

23And 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.

24In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

25But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

26Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

27And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;

28Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.

29Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.

30This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

31Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

32Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

33And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
