2 Chronicles 32:24-31

241In those days Hezekiah became 2mortally ill; and he prayed to the Lord, and 3the Lord spoke to him and gave him a sign. 25But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit 4he received, 5because his heart was 6proud; 7therefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. 26However, 8Hezekiah 9humbled the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.

27Now Hezekiah had immense riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuable articles, 28storehouses also for the produce of grain, wine and oil, pens for all kinds of cattle and 10sheepfolds for the flocks. 29He made cities for himself and acquired flocks and herds in abundance, for 11God had given him very great 12wealth. 30It was Hezekiah who 13stopped the upper outlet of the waters of 14Gihon and directed them to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did. 31Even in the matter of 15the envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of 16the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone only 17to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.
