2 Chronicles 32:29 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:24-33

Here we conclude the story of Hezekiah with an account of three things concerning him:? I. His sickness and his recovery from it, 2 Chron. 32:24. The account of his sickness is but briefly mentioned here; we had a large narrative of it, 2 Kgs. 20:1-11 His disease seemed likely to be mortal. In the extremity of it he prayed. God answered him, and gave him a sign that he should recover, the going back of the sun ten degrees. II. His sin and his repentance for it, which were also more largely... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:29

Moreover, he provided him cities ,.... Where he had the above storehouses and stalls, and convenient dwellings for those that looked after them, and were over his cattle, small and great, as follows; the Vulgate Latin version reads six cities in some copies F2 So the Edition of Sixtus V. Lovain, and MSS. in James's Contrariety of the Popish Bibles, p. 295. : and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance ; in which the riches of men, and even of kings, lay in those times: for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:24-31

The shadow which Hezekiah casts on his own life's history. The great commendation of Hezekiah, written in one word—his "goodness"—in our thirty-second verse, but somewhat more expressly in the parallel ( 2 Kings 18:5 ), which raised him to the very first rank with David and Jehoshaphat, may well be accepted as fully explained and sustained by the undeviating excellence of his administration of the kingdom. His reign is, at any rate, unsullied by any sins like those of David. Yet one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:24-31

The trial of restoration. The incident to which the text refers was a very small one when measured against the magnitude of that with which the preceding verses deal. It concerns the sickness and the recovery of one man, together with a visit to the court at Jerusalem of a few ambassadors. But it was very much to Hezekiah himself, and it contains valuable lessons for us all. I. THE INCALCULABLE ELEMENT IN OUR TRIALS . This is large. 1 . We cannot guess when they will... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:27-30

The greatness of Hezekiah. I. HIS WEALTH . 1 . Large. "Much riches" ( 2 Chronicles 32:27 ); "very much substance" ( 2 Chronicles 32:29 ). In this he resembled Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 9:22 ) and Jehoshaphat ( 2 Chronicles 17:5 ). 2 . Varied. II. HIS WORKS . 1 . Treasuries. For his gold, silver, precious stones; for spices, shields, and goodly vessels. 2 . Storehouses. For his corn, wine, and oil. 3 . Stalls. For his beasts and herds. 4. ... read more

Hezekiah's happiness. 1 . There can be no question at all as to Hezekiah's greatness. He was one of the greatest of the kings of Judah; not more than two, or three at the most, can be named as being greater than he. 2 . Or as to the excellency of his estate (see text, 2 Chronicles 32:27-29 ). He had all that his heart could wish, so far as temporal possessions were concerned. 3 . Or as to the regard in which he was held by his subjects. They evidently "delighted to honour"... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 32:1-33

Hezekiah’s political administration (32:1-33)To the writer of Chronicles, Hezekiah’s religious reforms were the most important feature of his reign. Politically, he was able to remain independent of Assyria, but only because God intervened in response to his faith (32:1-23; see notes on 2 Kings 18:13-19:37). He also made Judah prosperous. But pride in his achievements led him to become friendly with Babylon, the rising power in the region. It was a policy that later brought disaster upon Judah... 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
