About Hezekiah
Hezekiah was the son of Ahaz and the thirteenth king of Judah. He is described as "the best-attested figure in biblical history," due to the extensive documentation of his reign in biblical texts and external sources. His reign was marked by his significant religious reforms and his revolt against the Assyrian Empire. He witnessed the destruction of the northern Kingdom of Israel by the Assyrians under Sargon II in c. 722 BCE and later faced the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem by King Sennacherib in 701 BCE.
