And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,

With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
