He dying, Manasseh succeeds him But because his heart was proud The phrase "his heart was proud" is a critical insight into the spiritual condition of Hezekiah at this point in his life. The Hebrew word for "proud" is "gābah," which conveys a sense of being exalted or lifted up. In the biblical context, pride is often seen as a dangerous sin that leads to a fall (Proverbs 16:18). Hezekiah, despite his earlier faithfulness and reforms, allowed his heart to become lifted up, forgetting that his successes were due to God's favor and not his own strength or wisdom. This serves as a cautionary tale for believers to remain humble and recognize God's sovereignty in all achievements. Hezekiah did not repay the favor shown to him therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem According to the benefit done unto him.--In his illness he promised to walk humbly all his days (Isaiah 38:15); but when he had recovered, "his heart was lifted up." Therefore there was wrath upon him.--And wrath fell upon him. The token of this was seen in Isaiah's prophetic rebuke, foretelling that the royal treasures would be carried away to Babylon, and that some of Hezekiah's sons would be eunuchs in the palace there (2Kings 20:16-18; Isaiah 39:5-7). And upon Judah and Jerusalem.--Which shared in the king's guilty pride and confidence in the arm of flesh. (Comp. 1Chronicles 27:24; 2Chronicles 19:10.) . . . Verse 25. - The parallel, 2 Kings 20:12-19 and Isaiah 39, fully explain the circumstances here referred to, and we may conclude that Hezekiah's sin consisted in the spirit in which he acted, displaying his treasures, so that it was in the fullest sense a sin of" the heart."Parallel Commentaries ...
