He even made treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and for all kinds of valuables,

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
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25His heart was lifted up - Compare the marginal reference. Hezekiah‘s pride was shown in his unnecessarily exhibiting his treasures to the ambassadors from Babylon (see 2 Kings 20:13). There was wrath upon him - Compare 2 Kings 20:17-18.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-33Verses 24-33 God left Hezekiah to himself, that, by this trial and his weakness in it, what was in his heart might be known; that he was not so perfect in grace as he thought he was. It is good for us to know ourselves, and our own weakness and sinfulness, that we may not be conceited, or self-confident, but may always live in dependence upon Divine grace. We know not the corruption of our own hearts, nor what we shall do if God leaves us to ourselves…Read the comment
