Estimated Date: 715 – 686 B.C.

Synopsis: The story of Hezekiah is refreshing because it tells of the return of the people to God and a restoration of the worship commanded in the Law of Moses. However, towards the end of his life, Hezekiah did some things that displeased God and would eventually bring the wrath of God upon Judah. In this story the destruction of Judah by Babylon is predicted.
