Hezekiah - 29 yrs Good (jul 1, 726 BC – jun 30, 697 BC)

Description:

2 Chron 29 2 Kings 18
1In the third year of Israel’s King Hoshea son of Elah, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became king of Judah.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi daughter of Zechariah.
3 He did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestor David had done.
4 He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake that Moses made (Num 21/8-9), for until then the Israelites were burning incense to it. It was called Nehushtan.
5 Hezekiah relied on the Lord God of Israel; not one of the kings of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
6 He remained faithful to the Lord and did not turn from following him but kept the commands the Lord had commanded Moses.
7 The Lord was with him, and wherever he went he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
8 He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its borders, from watchtower to fortified city. -- 2 Kings 18:1-8 (CSB)
