13 In the 14th year of King Hez·e·kiʹah, Sen·nachʹer·ib the king of As·syrʹi·a+ came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.+

19 He burned down the house of the true God,+ tore down the wall of Jerusalem,+ burned all its fortified towers with fire, and destroyed everything of value.+

27 “‘“But if you do not obey me by keeping the Sabbath day sacred and by not carrying loads and bringing them through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, I will set her gates on fire, and it will certainly consume the fortified towers of Jerusalem+ and will not be extinguished.”’”+

7 when the armies of the king of Babylon were fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left,+ against Laʹchish+ and against A·zeʹkah;+ for they were the only fortified cities that remained of the cities of Judah.
