1 Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother's name was Abijah. She was the daughter of Zechariah.
2 Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as King David had done.
3 In the first month of Hezekiah's first year as king, he opened the doors of the Lord's temple. He repaired them.
4 He brought the priests and Levites in. He gathered them together in the open area on the east side of the temple.
