Isaiah finished his message to the king of Assyria. He told Hezekiah that God would protect Jerusalem. That night the lord sent an angel and killed the Assyrian army and the king.
Hezekiah was on his deathbed. First Isaiah told him he was going to die, a little while later he told him God would save him. To prove it God made a shadow move backwards. Hezekiah entertained visitors from Babylonia, for some reason he showed them all the silver, gold, spices, and fine oils in his storehouse. Later Isaiah told him everything would be taken to Babylonia. Hezekiah died and his son Manasseh became king at the age of 12. He was a very bad boy! A very, very bad boy. Then he died, and his son Amon became king. He was bad too, he ruled two years, his officials plotted and killed him. Then, the people of Judah killed the officials who murdered Amon and made Josiah, his son, king. Josiah was 8 and he obeyed the Lord. Later he had one of his officials get some money from the temple and he found a book called 'The Book of God's Law'. After they read this book they felt very sad and guilty. Josiah read the book aloud to the people of Judah, and they agreed to do everything in the book. Next they removed all the idols from Judah and destroyed them.
