2 Chronicles 32:24-33 ▼

24 In those days Hezekiah was sick even to death, and he prayed to YHWH, and He spoke to him and gave to him a sign.

25 And Hezekiah did not repay according to the deed to him, for his heart was lifted up; and there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

26 And Hezekiah humbled himself for the loftiness of his heart, he and those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that the wrath of YHWH did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

27 And were unto Hezekiah riches and honor being very great, and treasuries he made to himself for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of desirable vessels,

28 and storehouses for the harvest of grain and wine and oil, and stalls for all kinds of various livestock, and herds for the stalls.

29 And he made cities for himself, and possessions of flock and herd in abundance, for God had given to him very much property.

30 And Hezekiah himself stopped the Upper outlet of the waters of Gihon, and he directed them beneath to the west of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

31 And so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending to him to inquire about the sign that was done in the land, God withdrew from him in order to test him, that He might know all in his heart.

32 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his loving devotion, indeed they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet and in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

33 And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and those dwelling in Jerusalem did honor to him at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
