2 Chronicles 32:5

Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised [it] up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo [in] the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

Also he strengthened {H2388} himself, and built up {H1129} all the wall {H2346} that was broken {H6555}, and raised it up {H5927} to the towers {H4026}, and another {H312} wall {H2346} without {H2351}, and repaired {H2388} Millo {H4407} in the city {H5892} of David {H1732}, and made {H6213} darts {H7973} and shields {H4043} in abundance {H7230}.

Then, taking courage, he rebuilt all the broken sections of the wall, raised towers on it, built another wall outside that, strengthened the Millo in the City of David, and made a large quantity of spears and shields.

Then Hezekiah worked resolutely to rebuild all the broken sections of the wall and to raise up towers on it. He also built an outer wall and reinforced the supporting terraces of the City of David, and he produced an abundance of weapons and shields.

And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and the other wall without, and strengthened Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
