The main accounts of Hezekiah's reign are found in 2 Kings 18-20, Isaiah 36-39, and 2 Chronicles 29-32 of the Hebrew Testament. Proverbs 25 attests that it is a collection of King Solomon’s proverbs that were “copied” “by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah” Proverbs 25:1. His reign is also referred to in the books of the prophets Jeremiah, Hosea, and Micah. The books of Hosea and Micah record that their prophecies were made during Hezekiah’s reign.

Famous quotes containing the word account:

    “The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
