    Description

    Who was Hezekiah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hezekiah was the son of Ahaz and the 13th king of Judah. He reigned for 29 years (2Ki.18.2; 2Ch.29.1). Hezekiah is known for his religious reforms and his trust in God during the Assyrian invasion. He removed the high places, broke down the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles (2Ki.18.4; 2Ch.31.1). He also cleansed and restored the temple, and reinstituted the Passover celebration (2Ch.29-30). When Sennacherib, king of Assyria, invaded Judah, Hezekiah trusted in God and sought the counsel of the prophet Isaiah (2Ki.18-19; 2Ch.32; Isa.36-37). As a result, God delivered Jerusalem from the Assyrian army (2Ki.19.35-36; 2Ch.32.21; Isa.37.36-37). Hezekiah also faced a severe illness, but after he prayed, God granted him 15 more years of life (2Ki.20.1-11; 2Ch.32.24-26; Isa.38). However, Hezekiah's pride led him to show the Babylonian envoys all his treasures, which prompted Isaiah to prophesy the future Babylonian captivity (2Ki.20.12-19; 2Ch.32.27-31; Isa.39). Despite this, Hezekiah is remembered as a king who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord (2Ki.18.3; 2Ch.29.2). He is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus (Mat.1.9-10) and is also referenced in the books of Jeremiah, Hosea, and Micah (Jer.15.4; 26.18-19; Hos.1.1; Mic.1.1).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Hezekiah10 of 36 entities the graph connects to Hezekiah, in 2 groups: kinship 3, events 7. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.DavidChild of · 964 versesAhazChild of · 5 events · 37 versesManassehFather of · 24 versesKinshipIsrael3 events · 2,578 versesJudah6 events · 1,023 versesLORD14 events · 1,004 versesJerusalem9 events · 888 versesLevi9 events · 329 versesSilver4 events · 80 versesIsaiah11 events · 54 versesEventsHezekiah
