Parallel
2 Chronicles 32:4
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And he collected many people, and stopped the wells of water, and the river that flowed through the city, saying, Lest the king of Assyria come, and find much water, and strengthen [himself].
Many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings (note: Hebrew; LXX and Syriac king) of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said.
