• The reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, who trusted in Elohim and rejected idolatry. Sennacherib, king of Assyria, threatens Jerusalem and sends messengers to intimidate Hezekiah and the people. Hezekiah seeks out the prophet Isaiah, who assures him that Elohim will protect them. Hezekiah prays fervently and Yahweh responds by sending a messenger (Angel) who destroys the Assyrian army. Sennacherib returns to Assyria and is killed. These chapters teach us about the importance of faith in Elohim, prayer and trust in His protection in the face of seemingly invincible threats.

• King Hezekiah falls gravely ill and the prophet Isaiah announces that he will die. Hezekiah prays fervently to Elohim, remembering His faithfulness and promises. Yahweh hears his prayer and, through Isaiah, grants him fifteen more years of life and promises to protect Jerusalem from the Assyrian king. As a sign of this promise, Yahweh turns back the shadow on Ahaz’s sundial. This passage teaches about the power of sincere prayer, Yahweh’s mercy in extending Hezekiah’s life and the divine faithfulness in keeping His promises..

• The prosperity of King Hezekiah, who accumulated wealth and built storehouses, cities and aqueducts. Despite his success, Hezekiah shows pride, which provokes the wrath of Elohim. However, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem humble themselves and avert disaster. Hezekiah is recognized for his piety and great deeds, and after his death, he is honored and buried with dignity. This passage teaches the importance of humility and continued dependence on Yahweh, regardless of personal success, through the need to recognize and correct pride in order to avoid divine judgment.

In summary, Hezekiah, king of Judah, reformed the kingdom by eliminating idolatry and restoring the worship of Yahweh Elohim. He faced and resisted the Assyrian invasion with faith. Elohim healed him of a deadly disease, extending his life fifteen years. His reign is remembered for his piety, prosperity and devotion to Yahweh.
