1 Hezekiah became king when he was 25 years old, and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah; she was Zechariah’s daughter.
2 He did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his ancestor David had done.
3 In the very first year of his rule, during the first month, Hezekiah reopened the doors of the Lord’s temple, having repaired them.
4 Then he brought in the priests and Levites and assembled them in the eastern square.
