2 Chronicles 32:30-32
New English Translation
30 Hezekiah dammed up the source of the waters of the Upper Gihon and directed them down to the west side of the City of David.[a] Hezekiah succeeded in all that he did. 31 So when the envoys arrived from the Babylonian officials to visit him and inquire about the sign that occurred in the land,[b] God left him alone to test him, in order to know his true motives.[c]
32 The rest of the events of Hezekiah’s reign, including his faithful deeds, are recorded in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz, included in the Scroll of the Kings of Judah and Israel.[d]

He succeeded in everything he undertook. 31 But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon(D) to ask him about the miraculous sign(E) that had occurred in the land, God left him to test(F) him and to know everything that was in his heart.
