Significance: Kings devotes eleven verses to Hezekiah's illness, prayer, divine response through Isaiah, the sundial sign, and the fig poultice healing. The Chronicler in 2 Chronicles 32:24-26 compresses all of this into three verses, adding the unique theological commentary that "Hezekiah's heart was proud" (גָּבַהּ לִבּוֹ, gavah libbo) after his recovery, but "he humbled himself for the pride of his heart" and wrath was averted during his days. The Chronicler thus interprets the illness as connected to Hezekiah's pride — likely his display of treasures to the Babylonian envoys — a connection Kings narrates sequentially but does not explicitly moralize.
