(25) But Hezekiah.--For Hezekiah's pride, see the account of his reception of the Babylonian embassy (2Kings 20:12-19; Isaiah 39).

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."
