Sennacherib Boasts Against the Lord

1 After athese 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 and1 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 asprings and the brook that ran through the land, saying, “Why should the1 kings of Assyria come and find much water?”  
5 And ahe strengthened himself, bbuilt up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired1 the cMillo in the City of David, and made2 weapons and shields in abundance.

2 Chronicles 32:3

To stop the waters ... - Compare II Chronicles 32:30. Hezekiah' s object was probably twofold - to hide the springs outside the city in order to distress the Assyrians, and to convey their water underground into the city, in order to increase his own supply during the siege.
