Context
Hezekiah’s Shortcomings and Accomplishments
32:24 In those days Hezekiah was stricken with a terminal illness . He prayed to the Lord , who answered him and gave him a sign confirming that he would be healed.
32:25 But Hezekiah was ungrateful ; he had a proud attitude , provoking God to be angry at him, as well as Judah and Jerusalem .
32:26 But then Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem humbled themselves and abandoned their pride , and the Lord was not angry with them for the rest of Hezekiah’s reign .
32:27 Hezekiah was very wealthy and greatly respected . He made storehouses for his silver , gold , precious stones , spices , and all his other valuable possessions .
32:28 He made storerooms for the harvest of grain , wine , and olive oil , and stalls for all his various kinds of livestock and his flocks .
32:29 He built royal cities and owned a large number of sheep and cattle , for God gave him a huge amount of possessions .
32:30 Hezekiah dammed up the source of the waters of the Upper Gihon and directed them down to the west side of the City of David . Hezekiah succeeded in all that he did .
32:31 So when the envoys arrived from the Babylonian officials to visit him and inquire about the sign that occurred in the land , God left him alone to test him, in order to know his true motives .
32:32 The rest of the events of Hezekiah’s reign, including his faithful deeds, are recorded in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz , included in the Scroll of the Kings of Judah and Israel .
32:33 Hezekiah passed away and was buried on the ascent of the tombs of the descendants of David . All the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem buried him with great honor . His son Manasseh replaced him as king .
