Hezekiah and his associates instituted various reforms for the upbuilding of the spiritual and temporal interests of the kingdom. "Throughout all Judah" the king "wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord 339 his God. And in every work that he began, . . . he did it with all his heart, and prospered." "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel, . . . and departed not from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses. And the Lord was with him; and he prospered." Verses 20, 21; 2 Kings 18:5-7.

Ezekias og hans medarbejdere indførte forskellige reformer, som havde betydning for riget i åndelig og timelig henseende. "I hele Juda" gjorde kongen, "hvad der var godt, ret og sandt for Herren hans Guds åsyn. Alt, hvad han tog fat på ....., det gjorde han af hele sit hjerte, og det lykkedes for ham." "Til Herren, Israels Gud, satte han sin lid ..... Han holdt fast ved Herren og veg ikke fra ham, og han overholdt de bud, Herren havde givet Moses. Og Herren var med ham; i alt, hvad han foretog sig, havde han lykken med sig." 2Krøn 31,20-21; 18,5-7.
