Hezekiah was the best king Judah ever had. The Bible says no king ever served God so well. When Hezekiah had been king fourteen years, Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, marched against Jerusalem. He sent a letter to Hezekiah, telling him to give up the city because his God could not help him. Hezekiah took this letter up into the temple. He spread it out before God and prayed Him to save Jerusalem. God heard his prayer. That night His angel went into the Assyrian camp and killed one hundred and eighty-five thousand of the Assyrians. Soon after this Sennacherib’s two sons killed him.
