So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
Se reunió mucha gente y taparon todos los manantiales y el arroyo que corría por la tierra, diciendo: '¿Por qué han de venir los reyes de Asiria y encontrar abundante agua?'
El pueblo bloqueó las fuentes de agua para evitar que los invasores asirios tuvieran acceso a este recurso vital.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred during King Hezekiah's reign when the Assyrian army under Sennacherib was threatening Jerusalem around 701 BC. Cutting off water sources was a common military strategy - if invading armies couldn't find water, they would struggle to maintain a prolonged siege. Hezekiah had already built the famous tunnel to redirect water into the city for his own people's survival.
