who stopped:
This was prudently done; for, without water, how could an immense army subsist in ar arid country? No doubt the Assyrian army suffered much through this; as a Christian army did, through the same cause, 1,800 years afterwards.

the brook:
"This same¹ Hezekiahª also stoppedª °¹ the upperª watercourseª ª of Gihon,ª and brought it straightª ° downª to the west sideª of the cityª of David.ª And Hezekiahª prosperedª ° in all¹ his works.ª" {2Ch 32:30} + "And they aroseª ° and took awayª °¹ the altarsª that¹ [were] in Jerusalem,ª and all¹ the altars for incenseª took they away,ª ° and castª ° [them] into the brookª Kidron.ª" {2Ch 30:14}

kings:
The Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic read king, in the singular number. "Afterª these¹ things,ª and the establishmentª thereof, Sennacheribª kingª of Assyriaª came,ª ° and enteredª ° into Judah,ª and encampedª ° against¹ the fencedª ° cities,ª and thoughtª ° to winª ° them for¹ himself." {2Ch 32:1} + "And it came to pass¹ in the fourthª yearª of kingª Hezekiah,ª which¹ [was] the seventhª yearª of Hosheaª sonª of Elahª kingª of Israel,ª [that] Shalmaneserª kingª of Assyriaª came upª ° against¹ Samaria,ª and besiegedª °¹ it." {2Kg 18:9} + "Now in the fourteenthª ª yearª of kingª Hezekiahª did Sennacheribª kingª of Assyriaª come upª ° against¹ all¹ the fencedª ° citiesª of Judah,ª and tookª ° them." {2Kg 18:13} + "Of a truth,² ¹ LORD,ª the kingsª of Assyriaª have destroyedª ° the nationsª and¹ their lands,ª" {2Kg 19:17} + "For¹ he saith,ª ° [Are] not¹ my princesª altogetherª kings?ª" {Isa 10:8}

find:
"Giveª ° therefore thy servantª an understandingª ° heartª to judgeª °¹ thy people,ª that I may discernª ° between¹ goodª and bad:ª for¹ who¹ is ableª ° to judgeª ° this¹ thy so greatª ¹ a people?ª" {1Kg 3:9} + "Then¹ cameª ° there twoª women,ª [that were] harlots,ª ° unto¹ the king,ª and stoodª ° beforeª him. ... And the oneª womanª said,ª ° Oª my lord,ª I¹ and this¹ womanª dwellª ° in oneª house;ª and I was delivered of a childª ° with¹ her in the house.ª" {1Kg 3:16-17} + "And he returned backª ° from¹ ¹ him,² and tookª °¹ a yokeª of oxen,ª and slewª ° them, and boiledª ° their fleshª with the instrumentsª of the oxen,ª and gaveª ° unto the people,ª and they did eat.ª ° Then he arose,ª ° and went² °¹ afterª Elijah,ª and ministeredª ° unto him." {1Kg 19:21}
