¹⁴ And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.

³ and the fish-gate have sons of Hassenaah built, they have walled it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars.

³ He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;

³³ And the king saith to them, `Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon,

¹⁰ And there hath been in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, The noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the Second, And of great destruction from the hills.

³⁹ and from beyond the gate of Ephraim, and by the old-gate, and by the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, and unto the sheep-gate -- and they have stood at the prison-gate.

²⁶ And the Nethinim have been dwelling in Ophel, unto over-against the water-gate at the east, and the tower that goeth out.

²⁷ After him have the Tekoites strengthened, a second measure, from over-against the great tower that goeth out, and unto the wall of Ophel.

³⁰ And Hezekiah himself hath stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directeth them beneath to the west of the city of David, and Hezekiah prospereth in all his work;

⁵ And he strengtheneth himself, and buildeth the whole of the wall that is broken, and causeth `it' to ascend unto the towers, and at the outside of the wall another, and strengtheneth Millo, `in' the city of David, and maketh darts in abundance, and shields.

¹⁹ These `are' those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the cities of fortress, in all Judah.

¹¹ And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine,

¹² and in every city and city targets and spears, and strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and Benjamin.

⁴⁵ and they anoint him -- Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet -- for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing, and the city is moved; it `is' the noise that ye have heard.
