2 Chronicles 32

Sennacherib king of Assyria invades Judah; Hezekiah fortifies Jerusalem, stops water supplies, and encourages the people that YHWH is with them to fight their battles against the Assyrian host. Sennacherib's officials blaspheme YHWH, but YHWH sends an angel to annihilate the Assyrian army, saving Jerusalem; later Hezekiah prospers, falls ill but recovers, shows pride to Babylonian envoys, then humbles himself averting wrath.
