2 Chronicles 32:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ He set to work resolutely and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it,^[a] and outside it he built another wall; and he strengthened the Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance. ⁶ And he set combat commanders over the people, and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them, saying, ⁷ “Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him; for there is one greater with us than with him.
