Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 32:24

THE NEAR-FATAL ILLNESS OF HEZEKIAH"In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death: and he prayed unto Jehovah; and he spake unto him, and gave him a sign. 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 Jerusalem. Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of God came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

M. Hezekiah chs. 29-32In contrast to Ahaz, we can see Hezekiah’s love for Yahweh in how he cared for the temple. Ahaz’s reign was full of war, but Hezekiah enjoyed peace. God rewarded Hezekiah’s spiritual restoration of Judah with a remarkable military deliverance. Yet "good king" Hezekiah was not the completely faithful Son of David whose kingdom God had promised to establish forever (1 Chronicles 17:11-14)."He is the ’golden boy’ of Chronicles." [Note: Wilcock, p. 242.] The Chronicler gave... read more

5. Hezekiah’s humility and greatness 32:24-33Hezekiah fell short of being the perfect Son of David, just like all the rest of Judah’s monarchs. Yet when his heart did become proud because of God’s blessings, he humbled himself (2 Chronicles 32:25-26). Consequently, God postponed His discipline (2 Chronicles 32:26).Hezekiah was immensely wealthy and enjoyed much honor in his day (2 Chronicles 32:27-30; cf. Solomon). God rewarded his faithfulness and commitment. The Chronicler passed over... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

HEZEKIAH: THE RELIGIOUS VALUE OF MUSIC2 Chronicles 29:1-36; 2 Chronicles 30:1-27; 2 Chronicles 31:1-21; 2 Chronicles 32:1-33THE bent of the chronicler’s mind is well illustrated by the proportion of space assigned to ritual by him and by the book of Kings respectively.
