Thematic Bible: His piety


Thematic Bible



He did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestor David had done.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and plead for the Lord’s favor, and did not the Lord relent concerning the disaster He had pronounced against them? We are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”

Hezekiah trusted in the Lord God of Israel; not one of the kings of Judah was like him, either before him or after him. He held fast to the Lord and did not turn from following Him but kept the commandments the Lord had commanded Moses.

He did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestor David had done.

Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the Lord his God. He was diligent in every deed that he began in the service of God's temple, in the law and in the commandment, in order to seek his God, and he prospered.

As for the rest of the events of Hezekiah’s reign and his deeds of faithful love, note that they are written in the Visions of the Prophet Isaiah son of Amoz, and in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.


Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, meaning, “God has made me forget all my hardship in my father’s house.”
