Hezekiah's good reign4. He destroys idolatry, and prospers 9. The inhabitants of Samaria are carried captive for their sins 13. Sennacherib invading Judah, is pacified by a tribute 17. Rabshakeh, by blasphemous persuasions, solicits the people to revolt Hezekiah The name "Hezekiah" means "Yahweh strengthens" or "Yahweh is my strength." This name is fitting for a king who demonstrated remarkable faith and reliance on God. Hezekiah was the son of Ahaz and became the 13th king of Judah. His reign is noted for significant religious reforms, including the removal of high places and the destruction of idols, which were acts of returning Judah to the worship of Yahweh alone. Historically, Hezekiah's reign is well-documented, with archaeological evidence such as the Siloam Tunnel inscription, which attests to his efforts to protect Jerusalem from Assyrian invasion. trusted in the LORD the God of Israel No king of Judah was like him either before him or after him After him was none like him among all the kings of Judah.--This does not contradict what is said of Josiah (2Kings 23:25). Hezekiah was preeminent for his trust in Jehovah, Josiah for his strict adherence to the Mosaic Law. Nor any that were before him.--Rather, nor among those that were before him. Verse 5. - He trusted in the Lord God of Israel. Unlike Hoshea (see homiletics on 2 Kings 17:1-4), unlike Ahaz (2 Kings 16:7-10), Hezekiah discarded trust in man, and - it may be after some hesitation - put his trust wholly in God. This was exactly what God required as the condition on which he would give his aid (Isaiah 30:1-7), and what no previous king since the Assyrian troubles began could bring himself to do. So that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. It has been concluded from this statement that, "when the merits of the kings were summed up after the fall of the monarchy, Hezekiah was, by a deliberate judgment, put at the very top" (Stanley 'Lectures on the Jewish Church,' vol. 2. p. 397); but, as exactly the same words are used of Josiah in 2 Kings 23:25, the true conclusion would seem to be rather that Hezekiah and Josiah were selected from the rest, and placed upon a par, above all the others. At first sight there may seem to be contradiction between the two passages, since absolute pre-eminence over all the other kings is ascribed to Hezekiah in one of them, to Josiah in the other; but the context shows that the pre-eminence is not the same in the two cases. To Hezekiah is ascribed pre-eminence in trust; to Josiah, pre-eminence in an exact observance of the Law: one excels in faith, the other in works; Josiah's whole life is one of activity, Hezekiah's great merit lies in his being content, in the crisis of his fate, to "stand still, and see the salvation of God."Parallel Commentaries ...
