Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:3
Theological / DevotionalTook counsel. The object was to discuss plans for the strengthening of the city against a later attack. Certainly all the preparations made by Hezekiah could hardly have been effected during the course of one summer’s campaign by Sennacherib against Judah. Evidently these were long-range measures to strengthen the nation’s defenses for a future assault.
To stop the waters. Hezekiah had in mind a double purpose — he proposed to cover the springs outside the city so that the Assyrians would not have a convenient water supply, and to convey the water through a tunnel into the city to increase his own supply during the siege (2 Chron. 32:30; see on 2 Kings 20:20).
