"Hezekiah (/ˌhɛzɪˈkaɪ.ə/; Hebrew: חִזְקִיָּהוּ), or Ezekias,[a] was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the son of Ahaz and the 13th king of Judah. He is considered a very righteous king in both the Second Book of Kings and the Second Book of Chronicles. He is also one of the more prominent kings of Judah mentioned in the Bible and is one of the kings mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. "No king of Judah, among either his predecessors or his successors, could ... be compared to him", according to 2 Kings 18:5." - (en.wikipedia.org 04.10.2020)
