1After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2When 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 springs which were outside of the city; and they helped him.
