King of Judah · Divided kingdom, c. 715–686 BC
Hezekiah in the Bible
Hezekiah removes the high places, cuts a tunnel to secure Jerusalem's water, and survives Sennacherib's siege after taking the Assyrian letter into the temple and spreading it before God. His fifteen added years and the display of his treasury to Babylon's envoys close his reign on a warning.
