Commentary

He took counsel with his princes, and his mighty men,.... With his nobles, and the officers of his army, what steps s hould be taken to resist, retard, and distress the enemy, and among the rest what follows was proposed: to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city; that so the Assyrian army would find it difficult to supply themselves with water, which was an article of great importance: and they did help him; to stop the fountains, not only with their advice how to do it, but with their men, their servants, who assisted those that Hezekiah employed in this work.
