2 Chronicles 32:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 32:26

Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his
heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
In what manner is not said; perhaps by putting on sackcloth, and by fasting and prayer, and making confession of sin, and declaring repentance for it:

so that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of
Hezekiah;
but in the days of his son's sons, ( Isaiah 39:7 Isaiah 39:8 ) .

2 Chronicles 32:26 In-Context

24 About this time King Hezekiah became sick and almost died. He prayed, and the Lord gave him a sign that he would recover.
25 But Hezekiah was too proud to show gratitude for what the Lord had done for him, and Judah and Jerusalem suffered for it.
26 Finally, however, Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem humbled themselves, and so the Lord did not punish the people until after Hezekiah's death.
27 King Hezekiah became very wealthy, and everyone held him in honor. He had storerooms built for his gold, silver, precious stones, spices, shields, and other valuable objects.
28 In addition, he had storehouses built for his grain, wine, and olive oil; barns for his cattle; and pens for his sheep.
