Biblical sources. The main account of Hezekiah’s reign is found in 2 Kings 1820, Isaiah 3639, and 2 Chronicles 2932 of the Hebrew Bible. Proverbs 25:1 mentions that it is a collection of King Solomon’s proverbs that were “copied by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah”.
Hezekiah was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the son of Ahaz and the 13th king of Judah. Edwin Thiele concluded that his reign was between c. 715 and 686 BC. He is considered a very righteous king by the author of the Books of Kings. He is also one of the most prominent kings of Judah mentioned in the Bible and is one of the kings mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.
A great king!
