Context of 2 Chronicles 32:28
26But then Hezekiah and the people who lived in Jerusalem made themselves humble. They stopped being proud, so the Lord did not punish them. He was not angry with them while Hezekiah continued to be king. 27Hezekiah was very rich. People gave him great honour. He built rooms to store all his valuable things. They included silver, gold, jewels, spices and shields. He built rooms to store grain, wine and olive oil. He also made buildings to keep all his cows, sheep and goats. 29He built special cities for himself. He put lots of sheep and cows in them, because God had given him very many things. 30Hezekiah had stopped the water coming out from the higher spring at Gihon. Instead, he caused the water to go down to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah was successful in all the things that he did.
