2 Chronicles 32:24-33
24 aIn those days Hezekiah became sick to the point of death; and he prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh spoke to him and gave him a miraculous sign. 25 But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit he received, abecause his heart was proud; btherefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. 26 However, aHezekiah humbled the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Yahweh did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 Now Hezekiah had abundant riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of desirable articles, 28 storehouses also for the produce of grain, wine, and oil, stalls for all kinds of cattle, and sheepfolds for the flocks. 29 He also made cities for himself and acquired flocks and herds in abundance, for aGod had given him exceedingly abundant wealth. 30 And it was Hezekiah who astopped the upper outlet of the waters of bGihon and directed them to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah succeeded in all that he did. 31 Even in the matter of athe envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of bthe miraculous sign that had happened in the land, God left him alone only cto test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of lovingkindness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 33 So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper section of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem ahonored him at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.
