Teacher Bible Study Lesson Overview 1st-3rd Grade Kids Bible Study Guide Unit 15, Session 3: Hezekiah, Judah’s Faithful King TEACHER BIBLE STUDY He’s a chip off the old block. Like father, like son. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. These idioms exist because sons tend to look and behave like their fathers. When it comes to Hezekiah and his father, Ahaz, however, the two were far from similar. When Ahaz was king of Judah, he did not respect God, God’s law, or God’s prophets. He worshiped idols. Ahaz “did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God” (2 Kings 16:2). He led the people away from God, evoking God’s wrath and anger. Hezekiah, on the other hand, “did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestor David had done.” Hezekiah destroyed the places of idol worship and cleansed the temple. (See 2 Chronicles 29.) The Lord was with Hezekiah, and Hezekiah prospered. Hezekiah was a faithful king who led the people of Judah to worship God like they were supposed to, but even good kings are sinners. His wealth and success led to pride. How did Hezekiah react when God said everything in his palace would be carried off to Babylon? “Who cares? I’ll be dead by then.” Jesus is our faithful King who never sinned. Check out some of these definitions for the word faithful: strict or thorough in the performance of duty; true to one’s word, promises, or vows; steady in allegiance or affection; loyal; constant; reliable, trusted, or believed; adhering or true to fact, a standard, or an original; accurate. Jesus completed His work—the redemption of sinners. He said on the cross, “It is finished!” (John 19:30). Jesus is faithful over God’s house as a Son. (Hebrews 3:6) His obedience is steadfast. (Isaiah 50:4-10) “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). One day Jesus will return to make all things the way they are supposed to be.

He did what was right before God, just like King David did. Hezekiah changed the way people in Judah worshiped. He destroyed the bronze snake Moses made because the people had started to worship it. Hezekiah trusted God and obeyed His commands. God was with Hezekiah and made Hezekiah successful; his army conquered the Philistines and he stood up to the enemy king of Assyria. One day, Assyria attacked Israel and its capital city, Samaria. The Assyrian army made all the people leave their homes and go to Assyria. A few years later, the king of Assyria and his army came to Judah. Hezekiah was afraid. He didn’t trust God to protect His people. Instead, Hezekiah sent a message to the king of Assyria. Hezekiah said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have stood up to you. Please go away; I’ll give you as much money as you want.” The king of Assyria demanded eleven tons of silver and one ton of gold. Hezekiah didn’t have that much money! Hezekiah took the silver stored in God’s temple and in the palace. 2 2012 LifeWay Christian Resources 1st-3rd Grade Kids Bible Study Guide Unit 15, Session 3: Hezekiah, Judah’s Faithful King He took the gold off the doors and doorposts in the temple and gave it to the king of Assyria. Still, the king of Assyria was not happy. He sent his huge army and three leaders to talk to Hezekiah. They brought Hezekiah a message from the Assyrian king. The leader spoke loudly so the people of Judah could hear. “Whom are you trusting to protect you?” The king of Assyria had armies that were much better than Judah’s armies. If Judah and Assyria fought each other, Assyria would easily win. “You might as well just give up now,” the leaders of Assyria said. The people of Judah stayed quiet. They didn’t say anything to the leaders of Assyria. Hezekiah sent a message to the prophet Isaiah. “Pray for us!” Hezekiah said. “Ask God to protect us!” Isaiah responded, “God says: Do not be afraid of Assyria. I’ll take care of the king; he will go back to his country and he will be killed there.” Later, Hezekiah got a letter from Assyria that said, “Do you really think that God will protect you? The Assyrian army has taken over all these other lands; what makes you think we won’t take over Jerusalem too?” Hezekiah read the letter. He took it to the temple and prayed. “God, You made everything,” Hezekiah prayed. “Please hear me. Save us from Assyria so that everyone on earth will know that You are the one true God.” Then Isaiah came to Hezekiah with a message from God. God had heard Hezekiah’s prayer. God was not going to let Assyria attack Jerusalem. The rest of God’s message was for the king of Assyria and his leaders. “Don’t you know who I am? I am in charge! Anytime you win a battle, it’s because I let you win the battle.” God also said, “I will defend this city and rescue it for My sake and to keep the promise I made to My servant David—that his kingdom would not be destroyed.” That night, the angel of the Lord went into the camp of the Assyrian army and killed thousands of them. The next morning, the king of Assyria went home and was killed, just as God had said. One day, King Hezekiah got very sick. Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “You are going to die. You are not going to get better.” Then Hezekiah turned away, and he prayed to God. “Lord, please remember my faithfulness. I did what is right.” Then Hezekiah cried. Isaiah started to leave, but he stopped when God gave him another message. “I have heard Hezekiah’s prayer and have seen him crying. I am going to heal him.” The king of Babylon sent a gift to Hezekiah, and Hezekiah showed the king’s messengers everything he owned. Isaiah came to Hezekiah and asked him about the messengers. “They are from Babylon,” Hezekiah said. “I showed them everything in my house.” “A day is coming,” warned Isaiah, “when everything you have will be taken away. Even your sons will be taken, and they will work in the palace of the king of Babylon.” Hezekiah wasn’t upset at Isaiah’s prophecy because he knew he would die before this happened. Christ Connection: Hezekiah was a faithful king who led the people of Judah to worship God like they were supposed to. But even good kings sin. Jesus is our faithful King who never sinned. One day He will return to make all things the way they are supposed to be. Jesus is our King forever. 3 2012 LifeWay Christian Resources 1st-3rd Grade Kids Bible Study Guide Unit 15, Session 3: Hezekiah, Judah’s Faithful King TRANSITION TIME Session Title: Hezekiah, Judah’s Faithful King Bible Passage: 2 Kings 18–20 Big Picture Question: How should we pray?

    LESSON FIFTEEN Hezekiah: The Challenge from Assyria Quote: “He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.” 2 Kings 18:5, 6 Bible Marking Hezekiah - 2 Kings 18 2 Kings 18:1 - “Hezekiah” - Means “strengthened of Yahweh”. It was only through Yahweh’s strength that the reformation was accomplished, that Hezekiah was healed, and that Assyria was defeated. So great was Hezekiah, that we are given 3 records of his life (Kings, Chronicles and Isaiah). A Reformation on Divine Principles Mark above & “Ahaz” - Means “possessor”, ie. a selfish man, below 2 Kg 18 who was Judah’s worst king Ahaz had given himself over to idolatry, following the examples of those who had left the truth (2 Chron 28:1-2), and 2 Kings 18:2 - “Abi” - The margin has - ‘Abijah, of the world in general (2 Kg 16:3, 10-11). He therefore made 2 Chron 29:1’. “Abijah” means “Yah is Father”. Judah “naked” in the sight of Yahweh, and “transgressed sore She appears to be the inspiration for Hezekiah to against Yahweh” (2 Chron 28:19). Now Hezekiah brought devote his life to the service of Yahweh. See about a reformation upon Divine principles. He turned the Prov 22:6. people back to Yahweh and His Word and to the Pioneers of “Zachariah” - Means “Yahweh hath remembered” the truth (David, Asaph and Gad and Nathan etc).

  • Hezekiah's Prayer 2 Kings 18-19 Characters: Narrator, Sennacherib
    1 Hezekiah’s Prayer 2 Kings 18-19 Characters: Narrator, Sennacherib, Isaiah, Hezekiah, Messenger Narrator: God’s land had been split into two kingdoms—Israel and Judah. Israel had been ruled by very unfaithful kings, and none of the Israelites had believed in God anymore. Judah had once been ruled by Ahaz, who was a very sinful king, and had built false altars around the kingdom. When his son Hezekiah became king, Hezekiah ruled that all the false idols be burned. Hezekiah: I decree that all the false idols be burned! Also, I order that the bronze serpent Moses built be destroyed, as the people have started worshipping it as a god. The people will only worship the one true God, the Lord! Narrator: God found favor with Hezekiah for destroying all of the idols in the land. Sometime during Hezekiah’s reign, the Assyrians came and conquered the land of Israel. God allowed Israel to be conquered because they had stopped worshipping Him. Soon, the Assyrians began to attack cities in Judah. Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, sent a messenger to Hezekiah telling him to surrender. Messenger: Sennacherib has ordered me to give you this message. He orders you to surrender, and pay tribute to him, and he will not destroy Judah. He demands 11 tons of silver and 1 ton of gold. If you do not pay his demands, he will destroy you and all of your people. Hezekiah: What choice do I have? I will pay his tribute. Get all of the gold and silver in the kingdom.

  • What Did King Josiah Reform?
    Chapter 17 What Did King Josiah Reform? Margaret Barker King Josiah changed the religion of Israel in 623 BC. According to the Old Testament account in 2 Kings 23, he removed all manner of idolatrous items from the temple and purified his kingdom of Canaanite practices. Temple vessels made for Baal, Asherah, and the host of heaven were removed, idolatrous priests were deposed, the Asherah itself was taken from the temple and burned, and much more besides. An old law book had been discovered in the temple, and this had prompted the king to bring the religion of his kingdom into line with the requirements of that book (2 Kings 22:8–13; 2 Chronicles 34:14–20).1 There could be only one temple, it stated, and so all other places of sacrificial worship had to be destroyed (Deuteronomy 12:1–5). The law book is easily recognizable as Deuteronomy, and so King Josiah’s purge is usually known as the Deuteronomic reform of the temple. In 598 BC, twenty-five years after the work of Josiah, Jerusalem was attacked by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:10– 16; 25:1–9); eleven years after the first attack, they returned to destroy the city and the temple (586 BC). Refugees fled south to Egypt, and we read in the book of Jeremiah how they would not accept the prophet’s interpretation of the disaster (Jeremiah 44:16–19). Jeremiah insisted that Jerusalem had fallen because of the sins of her people, but the refugees said it had fallen because of Josiah.

  • 2 Kings 19:1-17 19 King Ahab Told Jezebel Everything Elijah Had Done
    Older Kids LMBC Children’s Activity Page 2 Kings 19:1-17 19 King Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done. Ahab told her how Elijah had killed all the prophets with a sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah. Jezebel said, “By this time tomorrow I will kill you. I will kill you as you killed those prophets. If I don’t succeed, may the gods punish me terribly.” 3 When Elijah heard this, he was afraid. So he ran away to save his life. He took his servant with him. When they came to Beersheba in Judah, Elijah left his servant there. 4 Then Elijah walked for a whole day into the desert. He sat down under a bush and asked to die. Elijah prayed, “I have had enough, Lord. Let me die. I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then Elijah lay down under the tree and slept. Suddenly an angel came to him and touched him. The angel said, “Get up and eat.” 6 Elijah saw near his head a loaf baked over coals and a jar of water. So he ate and drank. Then he went back to sleep. 7 Later the Lord’s angel came to him a second time. The angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat. If you don’t, the journey will be too hard for you.” 8 So Elijah got up and ate and drank. The food made him strong enough to walk for 40 days and nights. He walked to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God.

  • 2 Kings Chapter 19
    2 Kings Chapter 19 2 Kings 19:1 "And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD." “Hezekiah” puts on the traditional garments of mourning and grief (Joel 1:13). “Rent … sackcloth” (see note on 6:30). A reaction that symbolized Hezekiah’s grief, repentance and contrition. The nation had to repent and the king had to lead the way. Tearing clothes was a sign of deep mourning, often the result of sorrow or dismay. In his moment of need, Hezekiah humbled himself and prayed for help. “House of the LORD” (see note on Isa. 37:1). In the previous lesson, Hezekiah's three men had come back and told him of the terrible insults the king of Assyria had made about Hezekiah and Judah, but worst, about the LORD. When Hezekiah heard the abominable things they had said about the LORD, he tore his clothes and went to the temple to pray. Hezekiah went for help to his LORD. 2 Kings 19:2 "And he sent Eliakim, which [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz." “Elders of the priests” (see note on Isa. 37:2). “Isaiah the prophet” had full access to the king (chapters 18-20 are paralleled in Isa. 36-39). The first reference (in 1 or 2 Kings), to one of the Lord’s greatest prophets (Isa. 1:1).

    EPISODE NO. 196 2 Kings 19:1-36 King Hezekiah Sought God's Will from Isaiah, the Prophet 1 When King Hezekiah heard the message, he tore his clothes. And he put on some rough clothing. Then he went into the temple of Yahweh. 2 Hezekiah sent Eliakim, Shebna, and the older priests to Isaiah. Eliakim was the palace manager, and Shebna was the royal assistant. The men were all wearing rough cloth when they came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz. Isaiah was a prophet. 3 These men told Isaiah: “This is what Hezekiah says: ‘Today is a day of sorrow and punishment and disgrace. Why? It is sad, like when a child should be born, but the mother is not strong enough to give birth to it. 4 The king of Assyria sent his field commander to make fun of the living God. Perhaps Yahweh, your God, will hear what the field commander said. Perhaps Yahweh, your God, will punish him for what he said. So, pray for the few people who are left alive.’ ” 5 When King Hezekiah’s officers came to Isaiah, 6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master this: Yahweh says: ‘Don’t be afraid of what you have heard! Don’t be scared by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have spoken against Me. 7 Listen! I am going to put a spirit in the king of Assyria. He will hear a report that will cause him to go back to his own country. And, I will cause him to die by the sword there!’ ” 8 The field commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish.
