Context — Hezekiah’s Illness and Recovery
26Then Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart—he and the people of Jerusalem—so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them during the days of Hezekiah.
27Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable articles.
28He also made storehouses for the harvest of grain and new wine and oil, stalls for all kinds of livestock, and pens for the flocks.
29He made cities for himself, and he acquired herds of sheep and cattle in abundance, for God gave him very great wealth. 30It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Spring of Gihon and channeled it down to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.Cross References

2 Chronicles 32:28 Summary
In 2 Chronicles 32:28, we see Hezekiah preparing for the future by building storehouses for grain, new wine, and oil, and stalls for his livestock. This shows that Hezekiah was a responsible leader who trusted God to provide for him, similar to the example of Joseph in Genesis 41:35. Hezekiah's actions demonstrate the importance of being prepared and responsible with the resources God gives us, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 32:28
Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:28
2 Chronicles 32:28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.Ver. 28. For the increase of corn, wine, and oil.] These are commodities less precious, but more necessary than the former, as the great Caliph of Babylon found when famished to death in the midst of his great treasure, whereof he was willed to eat and make no spare. Turk. Hist., fol. 113.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:28
(28) storehouses also.—And magazines (2 Chronicles 8:4; Exodus 1:11). Stalls.—‘Urβwτth (Syriac, ‘ϋrβwτthτ). (Comp. ϋryτth, 2 Chronicles 9:25; and ‘γwηrτth, “cotes,” a word only found here.) All manner of beasts.—Every kind of cattle.Cotes for flocks.—Heb., and flocks for folds. The words appear to have been transposed by some copyist. (Comp. LXX., καὶμάνδραςεἰςτὰποίμνια, “and folds for the flocks.” So Vulg., “et caulas pecorum.” Syriac omits.)
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 32:28
28. cotes for flocks] A.V. here follows LXX. Vulg. and R.V. (following the Massoretic text) flocks in folds. The “cotes” or “folds” were enclosures with high stone walls as a defence against robbers and wild beasts. The text is probably faulty; Pesh. omits the clause.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:28
28. Cotes for flocks — Rather, flocks for the stalls. He not only provided stalls for cattle, but cattle for the stalls.
