1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 He did what the Lord approved, just as his ancestor David had done.
3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, he opened the doors of the Lord’s temple and repaired them.
4 He brought in the priests and Levites and assembled them in the square on the east side.
