Afterward, Hezekiah did not respond well to the Lord's kindness and awesome power of healing, so God became angry. Immediately, Hezekiah and his people repented. They humbled themselves.
God forgave them.
In the final verses of the chapter, something remarkable took place when ambassadors from Babylon came to see him. The Lord withdrew from Hezekiah to test him and see what was in his heart. It is not known in this book what happened, but more than likely the events are written out somewhere else in the Bible.
One thing to keep in mind when facing challenges: keep kindness and love in your heart. Be humble. Do not be prideful. No matter what, God always sees what is in your heart. Place others before you. And by not being selfish, the Lord will give you gifts beyond your wildest imagination.
