2 Chronicles 32:27-31

Christian Standard Bible

Hezekiah’s Wealth and Works

²⁷ Hezekiah had abundant riches and glory, and he made himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and every desirable item. ²⁸ He made warehouses for the harvest of grain, new wine, and fresh oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and pens for flocks. ²⁹ He made cities for himself, and he acquired vast numbers of flocks and herds, for God gave him abundant possessions.

³⁰ This same Hezekiah blocked the upper outlet of the water from the Gihon Spring^(A) and channeled it smoothly downward and westward to the city of David.^(B) Hezekiah succeeded in everything he did. ³¹ When the ambassadors of Babylon’s rulers^(C) were sent^[a] to him to inquire about the miraculous sign^(D) that happened in the land, God left him to test him and discover what was in his heart.^(E)
