26 However, 1Hezekiah humbled 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.
27 Now 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,
28 storehouses also for the produce of grain, wine and oil, pens for all kinds of cattle and sheepfolds for the flocks.
29 He made cities for himself and acquired flocks and herds in abundance, for 2God had given him very great wealth.
30 It was Hezekiah who 3stopped the upper outlet of the waters of 4Gihon and directed them to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.
31 Even in the matter of 5the envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of 6the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone only 7to 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 devotion, 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 8honored him at his death. And his son Manasseh became king in his place.
