2 Chronicles 32:5-8

English Standard Version

⁵ He set to work resolutely and built up ^(A)all the wall that was broken down and raised towers upon it,^[a] and outside it he built another wall, and he strengthened the ^(B)Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance. ⁶ And he set combat commanders over the people and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke ^(C)encouragingly to them, saying, ^7 (D)“Be strong and courageous. ^(E)Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, ^(F)for there are more with us than with him. ⁸ With him is ^(G)an arm of flesh, ^(H)but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
