Hizkia
Anak Ahas (2 Raja-raja 18:1; 2 Tawarikh 29:1), yang ia gantikan di atas takhta kerajaan Yehuda. Ia memerintah selama dua puluh sembilan tahun (726-697 SM). Sejarah tentang raja ini terdapat dalam 2 Raja-raja 18:20, Yesaya 36-39, dan 2 Tawarikh 29-32. Ia disebut sebagai raja yang besar dan baik. Dalam kehidupan publiknya, ia meneladani kakek buyutnya, Uzia. Ia bertekad untuk menghapuskan penyembahan berhala dari kerajaannya, dan di antara tindakan-tindakan yang ia lakukan untuk tujuan ini, ia menghancurkan “ular tembaga” yang telah dipindahkan ke Yerusalem dan telah menjadi objek penyembahan berhala (Bilangan 21:9). Suatu pembaruan besar terlaksana di kerajaan Yehuda pada zamannya (2 Raja-raja 18:4; 2 Tawarikh 29:3-36).
Setelah kematian Sargon dan naiknya putranya, Sanherib, ke atas takhta Asyur, Hizkia menolak membayar upeti yang sebelumnya dibayar oleh ayahnya, lalu “memberontak terhadap raja Asyur dan tidak melayaninya”, melainkan mengadakan persekutuan dengan Mesir (Yesaya 30; 31; 36:6-9). Hal ini memicu penyerbuan Yehuda oleh Sanherib (2 Raja-raja 18:13-16), yang merebut empat puluh kota dan mengepung Yerusalem dengan timbunan tanah. Hizkia tunduk pada tuntutan raja Asyur dan setuju membayarnya tiga ratus talenta perak dan tiga puluh talenta emas (2 Raja-raja 18:14).
Namun, Sanherib berlaku curang terhadap Hizkia (Yesaya 33:1), dan untuk kedua kalinya dalam kurun dua tahun menyerbu kerajaannya (2 Raja-raja 18:17; 2 Tawarikh 32:9; Yesaya 36). Penyerbuan ini berakhir dengan kehancuran pasukan Sanherib. Hizkia berdoa kepada Allah, dan “pada malam itu malaikat TUHAN pergi lalu memukul 185.000 orang di perkemahan orang Asyur”. Sanherib melarikan diri bersama sisa pasukannya yang terpukul mundur ke Niniwe, tempat ia dibunuh tujuh belas tahun kemudian oleh anak-anaknya, Adramelekh dan Sarezer (2 Raja-raja 19:37).
Kisah mengenai penyakit Hizkia dan kesembuhannya yang ajaib terdapat dalam 2 Raja-raja 20:1, 2 Taw. 2 Raja-raja 32:24, Yesaya 38:1. Berbagai duta datang memberi selamat atas kesembuhannya, di antaranya Merodakh-Baladan, raja muda Babel (2 Tawarikh 32:23; 2 Raja-raja 20:12). Ia mengakhiri masa hidupnya dalam damai dan kemakmuran, dan digantikan oleh putranya, Manasye. Ia dimakamkan di “tempat yang tertinggi di pekuburan keturunan Daud” (2 Tawarikh 32:27-33). Baginya, “tidak ada yang seperti dia di antara semua raja Yehuda sesudahnya, dan begitu pula di antara raja-raja sebelumnya” (2 Raja-raja 18:5).
