2 Chronicles 32:26

Verse 26 of 33. The 32nd of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.

22Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

23Many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from then on.

24In those days Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to the LORD; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.

25But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem.

26However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the LORD’s wrath didn’t come on them in the days of Hezekiah.

27Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honor. He provided himself with treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of valuable vessels;

28also storehouses for the increase of grain, new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.

29Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him abundant possessions.

30This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of David’s city. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
