14:032:025 But Hezekiah rendered not again according
to the benefit done
unto
him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there
was
wrath
upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
14:032:026 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself
for the pride of his
heart,
both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the
wrath
of the lord came not upon them in the days of
Hezekiah.
14:032:027 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches
and honour: and he made
himself
treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious
stones,
and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner
of
pleasant
jewels;
14:032:028 Storehouses also for the increase of corn,
and wine, and oil;
and
stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
14:032:029 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions
of flocks and
herds
in abundance: for God had given him substance
very much.
14:032:030 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 prospered in all his works.
14:032:031 Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors
of the princes of
Babylon,
who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was
done
in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might
know
all
that was in his heart.
14:032:032 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and
his goodness,
behold,
they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet,
the
son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah
and
Israel.
14:032:033 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and
they buried him in
the
chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David:
and all
Judah
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at
his
death.
And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
14:033:001 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began
to reign, and he
reigned
fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
14:033:002 But did that which was evil in the sight
of the lord, like
unto
the abominations of the heathen, whom the lord
had cast
out
before the children of Israel.
14:033:003 For he built again the high places which
Hezekiah his father
had
broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and
made
groves,
and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
them.
14:033:004 Also he built altars in the house of the
lord, whereof the
lord
had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
14:033:005 And he built altars for all the host of
heaven in the two
courts
of the house of the lord.
