The Bible says that of all the kings of Judah, there was none like Hezekiah who held fast to God and obeyed His commandments. In fact, God so loved his obedience that He extended his life by 15 yrs (2 Kings 20)! Even when he had pride towards the end of his life and showed off his possessions to the Babylonians, the punishment for this didn’t happen in his lifetime. Did you know he was also the one who destroyed the bronze serpent that Moses made? The Israelites had kept it and been worshipping it for all those years!  One of his first moves was to clean up the house of God, followed by a series of “acts of faithfulness” (2 Chr 31:1) - all of which culminated in God moving quickly to turn around the situation of the people of Judah.
