The raising of very many flocks and herds and the settlements in the fields indicate the expansion of pastoral holdings and the development of additional communities. The accumulation of such extensive pastoral property suggests investment of resources and careful management of herds. The establishment of settlements indicates the expansion of population centers and the extension of Judah's population into previously undeveloped areas. The breadth of these holdings indicates that Hezekiah had become an exceptionally wealthy monarch with control over vast pastoral and agricultural resources. The prosperity described indicates blessing flowing from successful reign.
