예루살렘을 위협하는 산헤립
32 히스기야왕의 이 모든 충성스러운 일이 있은 후에 앗시리아의 산헤립 왕이 유다를 침략하여 요새화된 성들을 포위하고 쳐서 그 성들을 점령하려고 하였다.
2 히스기야는 산헤립이 예루살렘을 치러 온 것을 보고
3 신하들과 군 지휘관들을 소집하여 상의한 후에 성 밖에 있는 샘을 막아 버리기로 결정하였다.
4 그래서 그들은 많은 노동력을 동원하여 그 지역으로 흘러가는 모든 물의 샘과 시내를 막고 “무엇 때문에 앗시리아 왕이 와서 물을 얻게 하겠는가?” 하고 외쳤다.
5 그런 다음 히스기야는 무너진 성벽을 다시 쌓고 그 위에 망대를 세우며 바깥 성을 쌓아 방비를 강화하고 또 다윗성의 밀로 요새를 더 견고하게 하며 많은 방패와 무기를 만들었다.
6 그리고 그는 성 안의 모든 사람들을 군 지휘관들의 명령에 따르게 하고 그들을 성문 광장에 모아 이렇게 말하였다.
7 “여러분은 마음을 굳게 먹고 용기를 가지고 앗시리아 왕이나 그의 군대를 조금도 두려워하지 마십시오. 그보다 훨씬 더 강한 힘을 가지신 분이 우리와 함께하십니다.
8 그에게는 많은 군대가 있지만 다 사람에 불과합니다. 그러나 우리에게는 우리 하나님 여호와가 계십니다. 그분이 반드시 우리를 돕고 우리를 대신하여 싸우실 것입니다!” 그제야 백성들은 히스기야왕의 말을 듣고 안심이 되었다.
9 얼마 후에 라기스를 포위하고 있던 앗시리아의 산헤립왕은 신하들을 통해서 히스기야왕과 예루살렘 주민들에게 이런 전갈을 보내왔다.
10 “나 앗시리아 왕 산헤립은 묻는다. 너희가 예루살렘에 포위되어 있으면서 살아 남을 수 있다고 생각하느냐?
11 히스기야가 너희를 설득하여 너희 하나님 여호와가 너희를 우리 손에서 구원해 줄 것이라고 말하지만 히스기야는 굶주림과 갈증으로 너희를 죽게 하려고 너희를 속이고 있다.
12 히스기야는 산당과 제단을 다 헐고 유다와 예루살렘 백성들에게 오직 한 단에서만 경배하고 분향하라고 하였다.
13 그러나 너희는 나와 내 조상들이 여러 다른 나라에 행한 일을 알지 못하느냐? 그 어느 나라의 신들이 내 손에서 그 백성을 구원해 낼 수 있었느냐?
14 그 모든 나라의 신들이 언제 내 손에서 그 백성을 구해 내었기에 너희 하나님이 내 손에서 너희를 구해 낼 수 있다고 생각하느냐?
15 너희는 히스기야에게 속지 말고 그를 믿지 말아라. 그 어떤 나라의 신도 그 백성을 [a]앗시리아 왕의 손에서 구해 내지 못했는데 어떻게 너희 하나님이 너희를 내 손에서 구해 내겠느냐?”
16 산헤립의 신하들까지도 여호와 하나님과 그의 종 히스기야를 조롱하고 모욕하였다.
17 또 산헤립은 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와를 모욕하는 편지를 써서 보내며 “다른 모든 나라의 신들이 그 백성을 내 손에서 구해 내지 못한 것같이 히스기야의 신도 자기 백성을 내 손에서 구해 내지 못할 것이다” 하였다.
18 이뿐 아니라 그 편지를 가지고 온 신하들도 유다 말로 크게 소리를 질러 성벽 위에 모여 있던 사람들을 놀라게 하고 기를 꺾어 쉽게 그 성을 정복하려고 했는데
19 이들이 예루살렘의 하나님께 말하는 태도는 마치 손으로 만든 이방 신들에게 말하는 것과 같았다.
20 그때 히스기야왕이 아모스의 아들인 예언자 이사야와 함께 하늘을 향하여 부르짖고 기도하자
21 여호와께서는 앗시리아군의 진영에 한 천사를 보내 장군들을 포함하여 장교와 사병을 모조리 죽였다. 그래서 산헤립은 창피하여 얼굴을 들지 못하고 자기 나라로 돌아갔다. 그가 자기 신의 신전으로 들어갔을 때 자기 아들들이 거기서 칼로 그를 쳐죽였다.
22 이와 같이 여호와께서는 히스기야와 예루살렘 주민을 앗시리아의 산헤립왕과 다른 모든 대적들에게서 구출하시고 그들을 사방으로 보호하셨다.
23 그러자 많은 사람들이 예루살렘에 와서 여호와께 예물을 드리고 또 히스기야왕에게 값진 선물을 주었다. 그때부터 모든 나라가 히스기야왕을 우러러보게 되었다.
히스기야의 교만과 회개 및 그의 성공과 죽음
24 이때 히스기야왕이 병들어 죽게 되었다. 그래서 그가 여호와께 기도하자 여호와께서는 그 기도에 응답하시고 그에게 병이 나으리라는 표적을 주셨다.
25 그런데도 히스기야는 마음이 교만하여 자기가 받은 은혜를 고맙게 여기지 않았다. 그래서 그와 유다와 예루살렘은 여호와의 노여움을 샀다.
26 그러나 히스기야와 예루살렘 주민들이 자기들의 교만을 뉘우쳤으므로 여호와께서는 히스기야의 생전에 그 백성을 벌하지 않으셨다.
27 히스기야는 부귀와 영화를 한 몸에 지니게 되었다. 그래서 그는 금은 보석과 향품과 방패와 그 밖의 모든 소중한 물건들을 넣어 둘 보물 창고를 짓고
28-29 또 곡식과 새 포도주와 감람기름을 넣어 둘 창고와 짐승의 외양간을 지었으며 양떼와 소떼를 가둬 넣을 우리를 만들었다. 이 밖에 하나님이 그에게 많은 재산을 주셨으므로 그는 수많은 소떼와 양떼를 소유하였고 또 성들도 많이 세웠다.
30 그리고 히스기야는 기혼 윗샘의 물을 막아 수로를 통해 그 물을 예루살렘의 다윗성 서쪽으로 끌어들였다. 이와 같이 히스기야는 하는 일마다 성공하였다.
31 그러나 바빌로니아 사절단이 와서 그 땅에 일어난 기적에 관해서 그에게 물을 때에 하나님은 히스기야를 시험하여 그의 진심을 알고자 그를 떠나신 적도 있었다.
32 이 밖에 히스기야왕이 행한 모든 일과 그의 업적은 아모스의 아들인 예언자 이사야의 환상을 기록한 책과 유다와 이스라엘 왕들의 역사책에 잘 기록되어 있다.
33 히스기야가 죽자 유다와 예루살렘 백성들은 그를 왕들의 묘 중에서도 높은 곳에 장사하여 그의 죽음에 깊은 애도의 뜻을 표하였다. 그리고 그의 아들 므낫세가 왕위를 계승하였다.

2 Chronicles 32
King James Version
32 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.
2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
3 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.
4 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?
5 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.
6 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,
7 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:
8 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.
9 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,
10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
11 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?
12 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?
13 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 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?
15 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?
16 And his servants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 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.
18 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.
19 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.
20 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
21 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.
22 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.
23 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.
24 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.
25 But 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.
26 Notwithstanding 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.
27 And 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;
28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
30 This 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.
31 Howbeit 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.
32 Now 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.
33 And 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.
2 Chronicles 32
New King James Version
Sennacherib Boasts Against the Lord(A)
32 After (B)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 [a]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 (C)springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, “Why should the [b]kings of Assyria come and find much water?” 5 And (D)he strengthened himself, (E)built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired [c]the (F)Millo in the City of David, and made [d]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 (G)gave them encouragement, saying, 7 (H)“Be strong and courageous; (I)do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for (J)there are more with us than with him. 8 With him is an (K)arm of flesh; but (L)with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 (M)After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying, 10 (N)“Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: ‘In what do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem? 11 Does not Hezekiah persuade you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, (O)“The Lord our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”? 12 (P)Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, “You shall worship before one altar and burn incense on (Q)it”? 13 Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? (R)Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their lands out of my hand? 14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my (S)hand? 15 Now therefore, (T)do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?’ ”
16 Furthermore, his servants spoke against the Lord God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17 He also wrote letters to revile the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, (U)“As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my (V)hand.” 18 (W)Then they called out with a loud voice in [e]Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, that they might take the city. 19 And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth—(X)the work of men’s hands.
Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death(Y)
20 (Z)Now because of this King Hezekiah and (AA)the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven. 21 (AB)Then the Lord sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned (AC)shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.
22 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 others, and [f]guided them on every side. 23 And many brought gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem, and (AD)presents[g] to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was (AE)exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.
Hezekiah Humbles Himself(AF)
24 (AG)In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the Lord; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign. 25 But Hezekiah (AH)did not repay according to the favor shown him, for (AI)his heart was lifted up; (AJ)therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem. 26 (AK)Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them (AL)in the days of Hezekiah.
Hezekiah’s Wealth and Honor(AM)
27 Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items; 28 storehouses for the harvest of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and [h]folds for flocks. 29 Moreover he provided cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for (AN)God had given him very much property. 30 (AO)This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and [i]brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah (AP)prospered in all his works.
31 However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they (AQ)sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to (AR)test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.
Death of Hezekiah
32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, indeed they are written in (AS)the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the (AT)book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33 (AU)So Hezekiah [j]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (AV)honored him at his death. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
