Ahaz reigns in wickedness and practices idolatry; his people are defeated by Israel. The captives are freed by the command of a prophet. The Assyrians and Philistines attack Judah. Ahaz continues his idolatrous ways. Hezekiah reigns in righteousness and restores the worship of Jehovah. The Levites cleanse and sanctify the house of the Lord. The priests offer sacrifices and make reconciliation and atonement for the people. Hezekiah and all the people worship the Lord and praise his name. Hezekiah invites all Israel to a solemn Passover in Jerusalem. Some accept the call; others laugh him to scorn. The faithful Israelites worship the Lord in Jerusalem. The faithful Israelites overthrow false worship among them. The people pay tithes and offerings. The Levites administer in temporal matters. Hezekiah serves faithfully. Sennacherib invades Judah and besieges the cities. He rails against the Lord. Isaiah and Hezekiah pray, and an angel destroys the leaders of the Assyrian armies. Hezekiah reigns in righteousness despite some faults.
