2 CHRONICLES 32:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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;”
The description of Hezekiah's extraordinary riches and honor indicates the material and political prosperity that resulted from his successful reign. The accumulation of treasures of silver and gold, precious things, shields, and spices represents the wealth flowing into Jerusalem and the king's treasury. The storehouses for grain, wine, and oil indicate the productive capacity of the land and the secure supply of essential resources. The numerous herds and flocks indicate pastoral wealth and the extent of royal properties. The comprehensive nature of Hezekiah's wealth indicates that divine favor produced material as well as spiritual blessing.
