2 Chronicles 32:24 In-Context

22 That is how the LORD rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from King Sennacherib of Assyria and from all the others who threatened them. So there was peace throughout the land.

23 From then on King Hezekiah became highly respected among all the surrounding nations, and many gifts for the LORD arrived at Jerusalem, with valuable presents for King Hezekiah, too.

24 About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill. He prayed to the LORD, who healed him and gave him a miraculous sign.

25 But Hezekiah did not respond appropriately to the kindness shown him, and he became proud. So the LORD ’s anger came against him and against Judah and Jerusalem.

26 Then Hezekiah humbled himself and repented of his pride, as did the people of Jerusalem. So the LORD ’s anger did not fall on them during Hezekiah’s lifetime.
