Assyria Causing Death Deliver Die Famine Food Hand Hands Hezekiah Hezeki'ah Hunger Misleading Need Persuade Salvation Save Tells Thirst Water Yourselves
2 Chronicles 32
1. Sennacherib invading Judah, Hezekiah fortifies himself, and encourages his people
9. Hezekiah and Isaiah pray against the blasphemies of Sennarchib
21. An angel destroys the host of the Assyrians
24. Hezekiah praying in his sickness, God gives him a sign of recovery
25. His proud heart is humbled by God
27. His wealth and works
31. His error in the ambassage of Babylon
32. He dying, Manasseh succeeds him














(11) Doth not Hezekiah persuade you.--Is not Hezekiah inciting you (2Kings 18:32; 1Chronicles 21:1). The, verb recurs in 2Chronicles 32:15.

To give over yourselves . . . by thirst.--In order to deliver you to dying . . . by thirst. A softening down of the coarse expression recorded in 2Kings 18:27. Esarhaddon in the record of his Egyptian campaign uses similar language: "siege-works against him I constructed, and food and water, the life of their souls, I cut off."

Verse 11. - The policy of Sennacherib, in the direct attempt to undermine Hezekiah by appealing straight to his people, instead of to himself or his ministers of state, is yet more pronounced in expression, as seen in 2 Kings 18:26, 27.
