Hezekiah's Wealth and Splendor (2CH 32:27-31)

[32:27] King Hezekiah became very wealthy, and everyone held him in honor. He had storerooms built for his gold, silver, precious stones, spices, shields, and other valuable objects.

[32:28] In addition, he had storehouses built for his grain, wine, and olive oil; barns for his cattle; and pens for his sheep.

[32:29] Besides all this, God gave him sheep and cattle and so much other wealth that he built many cities.

[32:30] It was King Hezekiah who blocked the outlet for Gihon Spring and channeled the water to flow through a tunnel to a point inside the walls of Jerusalem. Hezekiah succeeded in everything he did,

[32:31] and even when the Babylonian ambassadors came to inquire about the unusual event that had happened in the land, God let Hezekiah go his own way only in order to test his character.
