Context of 2 Chronicles 32:25
23And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; and he was thenceforth magnified in the sight of all the nations. 24In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death, and he prayed to Jehovah; and he spoke to him and gave him a sign.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 32:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25Hezekiah rendered not again - He got into a vain confidence, took pleasure in his riches, and vainly showed them to the messengers of the king of Babylon. See on 2 Kings 20:12; (note), etc.Read the comment
