2 Chronicles 32:24

Hezekiah's Pride, Success and Death

24 In those days Hezekiah became sick. He knew he was about to die. So he prayed to the Lord. And the LORD answered him. He gave him a miraculous sign.

2 Chronicles 32:24 In-Context

22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem. He saved them from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. He also saved them from all of their other enemies. He took care of them on every side.
23 Many people brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord. They brought expensive gifts for Hezekiah, the king of Judah. From then on, all of the nations thought highly of him.
24 In those days Hezekiah became sick. He knew he was about to die. So he prayed to the Lord. And the LORD answered him. He gave him a miraculous sign.
25 But Hezekiah's heart was proud. He didn't give thanks for the many kind things the LORD had done for him. So the LORD became angry with him. He also became angry with Judah and Jerusalem.
26 Then Hezekiah had a change of heart. He was sorry he had been proud. The people of Jerusalem were also sorry they had sinned. So the LORD wasn't angry with them as long as Hezekiah was king.
