20
And for this
cause Hezekiah, the king, and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
21
And the LORD sent an angel who cut off all the mighty men of valour and the captains and the princes in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And as he entered into the house of his god, those that had come forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
22
Thus, the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hands of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from the hands of all
others and guided them concerning everything.
23
And many brought a present unto the LORD to Jerusalem and precious gifts unto Hezekiah, king of Judah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all the Gentiles from then on.
24
In those days Hezekiah was sick unto the death and prayed to the LORD, who responded to him and gave him a sign.
25
But Hezekiah did not render again according to the benefit
done unto him, for his heart lifted itself up; therefore there was wrath against him and against Judah and Jerusalem.
26
Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart,
both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
27
And Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honour, and he made himself treasures of silver and of gold and of precious stones and of spices and of shields and of all manner of pleasant vessels,
28
storehouses also for the increase of grain and wine and oil and stalls for all manner of beasts and places for cattle.
29
Moreover, he made himself cities and possessions of sheep and cows in abundance, for God had given him great substance.

This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah was prospered in all that he did.
