His reign was marked by significant religious reforms and a miraculous deliverance from the Assyrian army (<a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35-36</a>). Despite Hezekiah's righteousness, his son Manasseh became one of the most notoriously evil kings of Judah (<a href="/2_kings/21.htm">2 Kings 21:1-9</a>). This contrast highlights the biblical theme that righteousness is not automatically inherited and each generation must choose to follow God. Hezekiah's life is a reminder of the importance of personal faithfulness and the impact of one's legacy.<p><b>Manasseh the father of Amon</b><br>Manasseh reigned for 55 years, the longest of any king in Judah, and his reign was characterized by idolatry and apostasy (<a href="/2_kings/21-10.htm">2 Kings 21:10-16</a>). He rebuilt high places, erected altars to Baal, and even sacrificed his own son, leading the nation into sin. However, later in life, he repented and sought the Lord (<a href="/2_chronicles/33-12.htm">2 Chronicles 33:12-13</a>), showing God's willingness to forgive even the gravest sins. Manasseh's son, Amon, followed in his father's earlier footsteps, continuing in idolatry and evil practices (<a href="/2_kings/21-19.htm">2 Kings 21:19-22</a>). This highlights the destructive cycle of sin and the need for genuine repentance and transformation.<p><b>Amon the father of Josiah</b><br>Amon's reign was short, lasting only two years before he was assassinated by his own officials (<a href="/2_kings/21-23.htm">2 Kings 21:23-24</a>). His failure to turn from idolatry set the stage for his son Josiah's reforms. Josiah became king at a young age and was known for his dedication to God and his efforts to restore the covenant and purify the worship practices of Judah (<a href="/2_kings/22.htm">2 Kings 22:1-2, 23</a>:1-25). Josiah's reign is often seen as a type of Christ, as he sought to bring the people back to God and restore true worship. His story emphasizes the potential for renewal and revival, even after periods of deep spiritual decline.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a></b><br>A king of Judah known for his faithfulness to God and reforms to restore proper worship (2 Kings 18-20).
