2 Chronicles 32:2-4

Common English Bible

² When Hezekiah realized that Sennacherib also planned on fighting Jerusalem, ³ he consulted with his officials and soldiers about stopping up the springs outside the city, and they supported him. ⁴ A large force gathered to stop up all the springs and the streams that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they asked.
