2 Chronicles 32:4

A large number of people gathered together and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the district. ¹  They reasoned, ²  “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?”

1Ki 3:9,16,17; 1Ki 19:21; 2Ki 18:9,13; 2Ki 19:17; 2Ch 30:14; 2Ch 32:1; 2Ch 32:30; Isa 10:8

¹ tn Heb “and they closed up all the springs and the stream that flows in the midst of the land.” Here אָרֶץ (’arets, “land”) does not refer to the entire land, but to a smaller region like a district.

² tn Heb “land, saying.”
