Heroic Hezekiah to the rescue!
In God’s providence, Hezekiah comes on the scene at just the right time. And I love what he did first. Scripture says that in the first month of the first year of his reign, he began to rebuild the temple and consecrate the items inside it. Hezekiah was a man who understood the holiness of God and his choices reflected that understanding.
I am overcome as well with the people’s response. Instead of doing as before, those who saw Hezekiah as their leader, followed in his steps, bringing their tithes and offerings to the temple in excess; so much so that new priests were consecrated in order to prepare all of the animals for sacrifice.
