SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:29

Se hizo también ciudades, y hatos de ovejas y de vacas en gran copia; porque Dios le había dado mucha hacienda.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 29. Moreover, he provided him cities , etc.] 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 f137 : and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance ; in which the riches of men, and even of kings, lay in those times: for God had given him substance very much ; for all was owing to his disposing providence, let it come which way it might.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 24-33 - God left Hezekiah to himself, that, by this trial and his weakness in it, what was in his heart might be known; that he was not so perfect i grace as he thought he was. It is good for us to know ourselves, an our own weakness and sinfulness, that we may not be conceited, or self-confident, but may always live in dependence upon Divine grace. We know not the corruption of our own hearts, nor what we shall do if God leaves us to ourselves. His sin was, that his heart was lifted up. What need have great men, and good men, and useful men, to study their ow infirmities and follies, and their obligations to free grace, that the may never think highly of themselves; but beg earnestly of God, that he will always keep them humble! Hezekiah made a bad return to God for his favours, by making even those favours the food and fuel of his pride Let us shun the occasions of sin: let us avoid the company, the amusements, the books, yea, the very sights that may administer to sin Let us commit ourselves continually to God's care and protection; an beg of him never to leave us nor forsake us. Blessed be God, death wil soon end the believer's conflict; then pride and every sin will be abolished. He will no more be tempted to withhold the praise whic belongs to the God of his salvation __________________________________________________________________
