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:

    “Classic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. ROLLING IN THE MUCK IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF GETTING CLEAN.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
