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.  ‡

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;

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.  ‡
