Hezekiah

Definition

Hezekiah was the 13th king over the kingdom of Judah. He was a king who trusted and obeyed God.

In contrast to his father Ahaz who had been an evil king, King Hezekiah instituted godly reforms by removing idol worship from Judah.
When Hezekiah earnestly prayed, God healed him of a serious disease and allowed him to live 15 more years.
As a sign to Hezekiah that this would happen, God caused the sun to move backwards on a sundial.
