| - Spouse: Volidana Children: Daniel
- King Hezekiah 800 years before the birth of Christ, ruled a city built on the large hill above a tunnel. The Assyrians were coming to attack the city and the only source of water, the Spring of Gihon, lay before them at the base of the city. When the enemy arrived, they found no water and were forced to give up their seige. Thus did King Hezekiah save his city. And yet, of that city no trace remains, and in its place the city now known as Jerusalem was built upon a larger hill to the north.
- Hezekiah (Hebrew חזקיה or חזקיהו, My strength is YHWH, or YHWH has strengthened) or Hezekias (Greek Ἑζεκίας) (751-vr.726-r. 726-698 BC according to Ussher, or 754-vr. 729-r. 715-686 BC according to Thiele) was the twelfth king of the Southern Kingdom of Israel in direct line of descent. He is one of the Southern Kingdom's two greatest and most glorious reformers. His complete trust in God averted national disaster--but his yielding to the temptation to vain boasting led the prophet Isaiah to predict that national ruin would come in due time. He stands today as a consummate example of faith, total commitment to God, and the consequences of a lapse in that commitment.
