2 Chronicles32:25
25 But Hezekiah rendred not again, according to the benefit done unto him: for his heart was lifted up , therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem .
For that prodigious Victory over the Assyrians, above v. 21. and for his miraculous Restauration from Sickness, and the confirmation of that Work by a strange and supernatural Motion of the Sun; and by the Honour since done him by an Embassy from the great and potent King of Babylon. All which probably raised in him too great an Opinion of himself, as if these things were done, if not by his Power, yet, at least, for his Piety and Vertues. And instead of walking humbly with God, and giving the Glory of all intirely to him, he took the Honour to himself, and vaingloriously shewed his Riches and Precious Treasures to the Babylonish Ambassadors, 2 King. 20. 12, &c.
