2 Chronicles 32:29-31
English Standard Version
29 He likewise provided cities for himself, and flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very great possessions. 30 This same Hezekiah (A)closed the upper outlet of the waters of (B)Gihon and directed them down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 31 And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, (C)who had been sent to him to inquire about (D)the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, (E)in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart.

29 Moreover he provided cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for (A)God had given him very much property. 30 (B)This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and [a]brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah (C)prospered in all his works.
31 However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they (D)sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to (E)test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.
