48 And to the genealogy of all their little_ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the acongregation : for in their ° set_office they ‘sanctified themselves in _holi- ness :
19 Also of the_sons_of Aaron the
priests, which were in the_fields_of the_ suburbs-of their cities, in every several city, the «men that were_expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that r were_reckoned_by_genealogies among the Levites. _ % And thus did Hezekiah through- out all Judah, and wrought that which as xgood and «right and «truth before J the Lorp his =God.
21 And in every work that he began in the_service_of the_house_of x=God, and in the law, and in the command- ments, to seek his =God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
3 AFTER «these xthings, and the
establishment thereof, »Senna- cherib king_of Assyria came, and en- tered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced xcities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sen- nacherib was_come, and that ) he was_ purposed to xfight against Jerusalem,

4So there was_gathered much people together, who stopped tains, and -the brook xthat oran through the_midst_of the land, saying, “Why should the_kings_of Assyria Fcome, 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, an another wall without, and repaired m%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_to- gether to him in the_?street_of the_ gate_of the city, and spake ¢ comfortably to them, saying,
7 “-Be_strong and ‘courageous, tbe not afraid nor 'dismayed for the_king_ of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that 7s with him: for there be more with us than with him:
8 With him 7s an arm_of-flesh ; but with us is 'the Lorp 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
