2Chronicles:32:24-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death ,
and prayed unto the LORD :
and he spake unto him ,
and he gave him a sign .
*
But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him ;
for his heart was lifted up :
therefore there was wrath upon him ,
and upon Judah and Jerusalem .
*
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart ,
both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah .
*
And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour :
and he made himself treasuries for silver ,
and for gold ,
and for precious stones ,
and for spices ,
and for shields ,
and for all manner of pleasant jewels ;
*
Storehouses also for the increase of corn ,
and wine ,
and oil ;
and stalls for all manner of beasts ,
and cotes for flocks .
*
Moreover he provided him cities ,
and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance :
for God had given him substance very much .
*
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon ,
and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David .
And Hezekiah prospered in all his works .
*
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon ,
who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land ,
God left him ,
to try him ,
that he might know all that was in his heart .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah ,
and his goodness ,
behold ,
they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet ,
the son of Amoz ,
and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel .
*
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers ,
and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David :
and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death .
And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead .
