Sennacherib’s Defeat and Death

20 aNow because of this King Hezekiah and bthe prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven.  
21 aThen the Lord sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned bshamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.  
22 Thus 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, and1 guided them on every side.  
23 And many brought gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem, and apresents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was bexalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.  

Hezekiah Humbles Himself

24 aIn those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the Lord; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign.  
25 But Hezekiah adid not repay according to the favor shown him, for bhis heart was lifted up; ctherefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.  
26 aThen Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them bin the days of Hezekiah.  

Hezekiah’s Wealth and Honor

27 Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items;
28 storehouses for the harvest of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and1 folds for flocks.  
29 Moreover he provided cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for aGod had given him very much property.

2 Chronicles 32:9-22

The author of Chronicles compresses into 13 verses the history which occupies in Kings a chapter and a half (II Kings 18:17-19; where see the notes).

II Chronicles 32:10

In the siege - Perhaps "in straitness" (compare Jeremiah 19:9). Jerusalem is thought by some to have been not so much besieged at this time, as distressed and straitened for supplies, because the Assyrians were masters of the open country.

II Chronicles 32:13

fathers - i. e. "predecessors." Sennacherib really belonged to a dynasty that had only furnished one king before himself.

II Chronicles 32:22

Guided them ... - A slight alteration of the existing text gives the sense - "gave them rest round about;" a common expression in Chronicles II Chronicles 15:15; II Chronicles 20:30.
