2 Chronicles 32:24
Compare II Kings 20 and notes. The "sign" is not (as in the margin) the miraculous cure, but the going back of the shadow on the dial of Ahaz (see II Chronicles 32:31).
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.
