Now in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah the king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to everything his father David did. He removed the high places and broke into pieces the sacred pillars. He cut down the sacred wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent Moses had made, because up to those days, the sons of Israel had burned incense to it. They called it Nehushtan.
He trusted in the Lord God of Israel, and after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those that were before him.

There was a man who is well known for his entertaining guests in his house. When a guest came to his house, he washed his feet, prepared a meal for him, and gave him the Bible to read.
One day, a sixty-year-old man came to his house. After washing his feet, he invited the old man to read the Bible, but he became angry and refused to read the Bible, saying, “I do not know God.”
Soon the owner ousted the guest from his house in the middle of the night.
Then he asked God, “God, what kind of man did you bring in my house?”
God answered him back,“How old was the man you had expelled tonight?”
He replied,“Sixty years old.”
Then God said to him,“How could you not spare him for one while I have carried him for sixty years?”
