2 Kings 20-22, Psalms 104-105

Thus far in his reign as king, Hezekiah has put his trust in the Lord. After Isaiah prophesies that his illness will end in death, Hezekiah prays to the Lord and the Lord hears, granting him another 15 years of life. It’s not long, however, before Hezekiah gets cocky and shows off his sweet digs to his neighbors, the Babylonians. Of course, we know that won’t end well. A couple generations later, King Josiah takes throne at the age of eight, and almost by happenstance, the king’s servant stumbles across the book of the Law which had become so forgotten and neglected that they weren’t quite sure what they were looking at.
