2 Chronicles 32:27 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Chronicles 32:27

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.

30 ^aThis same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah ^bprospered in all his works.

HIS RICHES AND WORKS. (II Chronicles 32:27-33)

he had exceeding much riches and honour—(compare II Kings 20:13; Isaiah 39:2). A great portion of his personal wealth, like that of David and Uzziah, consisted in immense possessions of agricultural and pastoral produce. Besides, he had accumulated large treasures in gold, silver, and precious things, which he had taken as spoils from the Philistines, and which he had received as presents from neighboring states, among which he was held in great honor as a king under the special protection of Heaven. Much of his great wealth he expended in improving his capital, erecting forts, and promoting the internal benefit of his kingdom.
