After Hezekiah, his son Manasseh becomes king of Judah. Unlike his father, Manasseh did evil in the sight of the Lord provoking the Lord to anger. The Lord then says that He will bring calamity on Jerusalem and Judah. A calamity is a terrible disaster. What will happen to Judah?
God is glorified by protecting Judah (2 Kings 18:1–19:37)
We jump to another part of Israel’s history where Hezekiah becomes king over Judah. Hezekiah is a king like no other because he clung to the LORD. During his reign, a new king of Assyria rises with great power, blasphemes God, and threatens Judah. Will Hezekiah trust God against this powerful king with a mighty army or will he surrender?
