Who was King Hezekiah?

Hezekiah was a king of Judah who trusted in the Lord. He became king at twenty-five and reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem (2 Kings 18:2). He removed the high places, broke the images, and even broke in pieces the brasen serpent Moses had made, because the people were burning incense to it (2 Kings 18:4). He also opened the doors of the temple again and held a great Passover (2 Chronicles 29:3).

When Sennacherib king of Assyria invaded Judah and sent a mocking letter, Hezekiah spread it before the Lord and prayed. That night the angel of the Lord struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (2 Kings 19:35). Later Hezekiah was sick unto death, but he prayed and wept, and God added fifteen years to his life. As a sign, the shadow went back ten degrees on the dial of Ahaz (2 Kings 20:5–11).
