Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD
This phrase highlights the response of the surrounding nations to the miraculous deliverance of Jerusalem from the Assyrian army. The offerings brought to Jerusalem signify recognition of the LORD's power and sovereignty. In the ancient Near East, it was common for nations to bring tributes to a deity or temple after witnessing a divine act. This act of bringing offerings aligns with the biblical principle of acknowledging God's intervention and blessing, as seen in other instances such as the dedication of the temple by Solomon (1 Kings 8:62-66).

and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah
Hezekiah's leadership and faith in God during the Assyrian threat earned him respect and admiration. The valuable gifts symbolize political alliances and respect for Hezekiah's role as a king who trusts in the LORD. This mirrors the gifts brought to Solomon by the Queen of Sheba (1 Kings 10:1-10), indicating a recognition of wisdom and divine favor. The gifts also reflect the cultural practice of honoring a victorious leader with treasures, a common custom in ancient diplomacy.

and from then on he was exalted in the eyes of all nations
Hezekiah's exaltation among the nations underscores the impact of God's deliverance on international relations. This phrase suggests a shift in the geopolitical landscape, where Judah, under Hezekiah's rule, becomes a focal point of admiration and respect. The exaltation of Hezekiah can be seen as a type of Christ, prefiguring the ultimate exaltation of Jesus, who is recognized by all nations as King of Kings (Philippians 2:9-11). This also fulfills the Abrahamic promise that through Israel, all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:3).

What Does 2 Chronicles 32:23 Mean
Many brought offerings

“Many brought offerings” (2 Chron 32:23) shows a widespread, voluntary response to God’s recent deliverance of Judah from Assyria (32:20-22).

• Deliverance moves hearts to generosity—seeExodus 35:21 after Israel’s rescue from Egypt.

• The pattern repeats inActs 4:32-37 when the early church, fresh from Pentecost, shares possessions.

• The text highlights that revival is rarely private; when God acts, whole communities respond.

to Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the divinely chosen worship center (Deuteronomy 12:5; 2 Chron 6:6).

• Previous chapters describe nationwide pilgrimages to the city for Passover (2 Chron 30:1, 10-13).

•Isaiah 2:2-3 foresees nations streaming to Zion; this verse previews that prophecy as Gentile envoys also arrive (2 Chron 32:31).

• By gathering in Jerusalem, givers publicly affirm that the LORD, not regional shrines or foreign gods, deserves their offerings.

for the LORD

The offerings are first and foremost “for the LORD,” underlining worship rather than mere politics.

• 1 Chron 29:9 celebrates gifts given “willingly to the LORD.”

•Malachi 1:14 warns that offerings must honor God, not appease people.

• The verse therefore frames all generosity as an act of covenant loyalty, recognizing that victory over Assyria belongs solely to Him (2 Chron 32:22).

and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah

Honoring their earthly leader follows honoring God.

• Similar gestures toward David (2 Samuel 8:10) and Solomon (1 Kings 10:10) acknowledge a king’s role as God’s servant.

• Hezekiah has just trusted the LORD boldly (32:7-8), re-opened the temple (29:3-11), and led spiritual reform (31:20-21). Gifts therefore commend godly leadership.

• 2 Chron 32:27 notes Hezekiah’s resulting wealth, yet his earlier prayer (32:20) proves that dependence on God preceded prosperity.

and from then on he was exalted

Scripture repeatedly ties humility before God to subsequent exaltation.

• 2 Chron 17:5—Jehoshaphat “had riches and honor in abundance” after seeking the LORD.

•Proverbs 22:4—“The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD is wealth and honor and life.”

• Hezekiah’s exaltation is not self-promotion; it is God’s public vindication of humble faith (cf.1 Peter 5:6).

in the eyes of all nations

God’s glory extends beyond Judah’s borders.

•Genesis 12:2-3 promises global blessing through Abraham’s line; this episode hints at that mission.

•Psalm 46:10—“I will be exalted among the nations”—is illustrated here as foreign delegations honor both Lord and king.

• 2 Chron 32:22 already affirmed that “He gave them rest on every side,” allowing surrounding peoples to witness divine supremacy.

summary

2 Chronicles 32:23 portrays a chain reaction: God rescues, people respond with offerings, the king receives honor, and surrounding nations take notice. The sequence underscores that worship belongs first to the LORD, that righteous leadership is worthy of support, and that humble trust leads to honor recognizable even beyond covenant boundaries. The verse invites believers to celebrate God’s victories openly, give generously, and expect His name to be exalted among the nations.

(23)Brought.--Were bringing =used to bring.

Gifts.--An offering (minchah), ortribute.

Presents to Hezekiah.--Among those who brought such were the envoys of Meroaach Baladan, king of Babylon (2Kings 20:12). Probably also the neighbouring peoples--e.g., the Philistines--relieved from the pressure of the Assyrian invaders, would thus evince their gratitude to the God of Israel. (Comp.2Chronicles 18:11.)

So that he was magnified . . . nations.--Literally,and he was lifted up, to the eyes of all the nations.

Verse 23. -Presents to Hezekiah. The "precious things" (מִגְדָּנות) of2 Chronicles 21:3.
