Hezekiah, the king who finally did the right thing

In the book of 2 Kings, chapter 18, we find the king of Judah Hezekiah.

As the title of this post states, we finally have a king who did right in the sight of the Lord.  He had all of the pagan images removed and destroyed.  Hezekiah trusted in AND relied confidently in the Lord, God of Israel.  Because of this, there was no other king before or after him that was like him.  He kept all of His commandments.

Because of his divine faith, Hezekiah was successful.  He rebelled against the Assyrian king and refused to serve him.

You see, he was willing to part with all of the objects that would cause him to drive his mind away from the Lord.  No one at this point had done this, and apparently no one had done it since.
