He made storehouses
The Hebrew word for "storehouses" is "אֹצָרוֹת" (otzarot), which signifies treasuries or storage places. In the ancient Near Eastern context, storehouses were essential for safeguarding the community's sustenance against famine or siege. This phrase highlights the wisdom and foresight of King Hezekiah, who prepared for future needs, reflecting a principle of prudent stewardship and reliance on God's provision.

for the harvest of grain
The term "grain" in Hebrew is "דָּגָן" (dagan), which refers to cereals like wheat and barley, staple foods in ancient Israel. The harvest was a time of joy and thanksgiving, as it represented God's blessing and faithfulness. By storing grain, Hezekiah ensured that the people would have sustenance even in times of scarcity, symbolizing spiritual preparedness and trust in divine providence.

new wine
The phrase "new wine" translates from the Hebrew "תִּירוֹשׁ" (tirosh), indicating freshly pressed grape juice, a symbol of abundance and celebration. In biblical times, wine was a common beverage and a sign of prosperity. Hezekiah's provision for new wine reflects a commitment to maintaining joy and community life, even during challenging times, underscoring the importance of spiritual and communal vitality.

and oil
The Hebrew word "שֶׁמֶן" (shemen) refers to olive oil, a crucial commodity in ancient Israel for cooking, lighting, and anointing. Olive oil was a symbol of richness and divine blessing. By storing oil, Hezekiah demonstrated an understanding of the multifaceted needs of his people, ensuring that their physical and spiritual needs were met, and highlighting the anointing and presence of God in their lives.

and stalls for all kinds of cattle
The term "stalls" comes from the Hebrew "רְפָתוֹת" (refatot), meaning enclosures or stables. Cattle were vital for agriculture, transportation, and religious sacrifices. By providing stalls, Hezekiah showed care for the economic and religious life of the nation, ensuring that the means for work and worship were preserved, reflecting a holistic approach to leadership and faith.

and pens for the flocks
The word "pens" is derived from the Hebrew "מִכְלָאוֹת" (miklaot), indicating enclosures for sheep and goats. Flocks were essential for clothing, food, and sacrificial offerings. By creating pens, Hezekiah safeguarded the community's livelihood and spiritual practices, emphasizing the importance of nurturing and protecting what God has entrusted to us, and the role of leadership in fostering a thriving, faithful community.

(28) storehouses also.--And magazines (2Chronicles 8:4; Exodus 1:11).

Stalls.--'Ur?woth (Syriac, '-rawotho). (Comp. -ryoth, 2Chronicles 9:25; and '?w?roth, "cotes," a word only found here.)

All manner of beasts.--Every kind of cattle.

Cotes for flocks.--Heb., and flocks for folds. The words appear to have been transposed by some copyist. (Comp. LXX., ??? ??????? ??? ?? ???????, "and folds for the flocks." So Vulg., "et caulas pecorum." Syriac omits.)

Verse 28. - Cotes for flocks should be tendered, conversely, flocks to the stalls, i.e. stalls full of flocks.
