*
In those days Ezekias was sick even to death ,
and prayed to the Lord :
and he hearkened to him ,
and gave him a sign .
*
But Ezekias did not recompense the Lord according to the (

to prayer (:

return which he made him ,
but his heart was lifted up :
and wrath came upon him ,
and upon Juda and Jerusalem .
*
And Ezekias (

was brought low (:

humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart ,
he and the dwellers in Jerusalem ;
and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Ezekias .

And Ezekias had wealth and very great glory :
and he made for himself treasuries of gold ,
and silver ,
and precious (

stones ,
also for spices ,
and stores for arms ,
and for precious vessels ;

and cities for the produce of corn ,

and (

stalls and mangers for every kind of cattle ,

and cities which he built for himself ,
and store of sheep and oxen in abundance ,
for the Lord gave him a very great store .

and brought the water down straight south of the city of David .
And Ezekias prospered in all his works .
*
Notwithstanding ,
in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon ,
who were sent to him to enquire of him concerning the prodigy which came upon the land ,
the Lord left him ,
to try him ,
to know what was in his heart .
*
And the rest of the acts of Ezekias ,
and his (

they are written in the prophecy of Esaias the son of Amos the prophet ,
and in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel .

And Ezekias slept with his fathers ,
and they buried him in a high place among the sepulchres of the sons of David :
and all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem gave him glory and honour at his death .
And Manasses his son reigned in his stead .
