Hezekiah (jan 1, 715 BC – jan 1, 686 BC)

Description:

He was 25 when he became king and reigned for 29 years. He was good in the sight of the lord. He removed the high places destroyed the asheroth poles and broke the bronze serpent. When he was sick Elijah said he would die, but Hezekiah prayed to the lord and Elijah came back to him and told him he had a choice: the shadow on the sundial could go either 10 degrees backwards or 10 degrees forwards. Hezekiah assumed that the sun going backward would be a greater sign since it would go against nature.
