King Hezekiah

Heather Crespin
About this episode

Becoming king at the young age of 25, Hezekiah did what was good and right before the Lord. He was quite the opposite of his wicked father, King Ahaz. He reopened the temple and destroyed any existing idols, and he faithfully kept the commandments that the Lord gave to Moses.We are reading 2 Kings 18 through 20.
