Hezekiah's Illness, Pride, and the Babylonian Envoys

2 Chronicles 32:24-33

32
Chapter 32
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of death, and he prayed to the LORD. And the LORD spoke to him and gave him a sign. 25 And Hezekiah did not return as one being repaid to him, for his heart was exalted; therefore there was wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 26 And Hezekiah humbled himself from the pride of his heart—he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—and the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 27 And Hezekiah had great wealth and glory, and he made treasuries for himself for silver and gold and precious stones and spices and shields and all kinds of desirable articles. 28 and storehouses for the harvest of grain and new wine and olive oil, and stalls for all livestock and livestock flocks for stalls. 29 He made cities for himself and livestock of flocks and cattle in abundance, for God had given him very great wealth. 30 Hezekiah blocked the outlet of the waters of the upper Gihon and directed them downward to the west toward the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his work. 31 And so with the messengers of the princes of Babel, the ones sending to him to inquire of the sign that was in the land, God left him to test him, to know all in his heart. 32 The rest of the words of Hezekiah and his steadfast loves are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33 And Hezekiah lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent to the burial sites of the sons of David. And they made glory for him in his death—all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
