Ahaz was an evil king of Israel
He was the father of King Hezekiah
King Hezekiah opened up the temple and repaired it
Hezekiah knows why they are under affliction, idolatry.
Hezekiah wants revival of the people
He wants people to worship God
He wants people to serve God
He wants people unified under God
He wants people to prepare their hearts
Hezekiah prays for God’s mercy on the people that had clean hearts
God healed many people because their hearts were right
The Israelites willingly destroyed the idols
They had peace, that only God can give.
