    21 And the LORD sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and leaders and officials in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew in disgrace to his own land. When he went into the temple of his god, some of his own sons killed him there with the sword.

    22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them on every side.

    23 Many brought offerings to the LORD to Jerusalem and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah, so he was highly regarded by all the nations thereafter.

    24 In those days Hezekiah became very sick, to the point of death. He prayed to the LORD, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.

    25 But Hezekiah did not respond to the kindness shown to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore, wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

    26 However, Hezekiah humbled himself, along with the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the LORD's wrath did not come upon them during Hezekiah's days.
