Manasseh Succeeds Hezekiah

²⁰As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, along with all his might and how he constructed the pool and the tunnel to bring water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?²¹And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigned in his place.

Summary

This verse concludes the account of King Hezekiah's reign, highlighting his legacy and the impact of his rule. It mentions that he was succeeded by his son Manasseh, who became king after him. Despite Hezekiah's faithfulness and the miraculous sign of the sun going back ten steps as a confirmation of his healing, his son Manasseh would later lead Judah into idolatry and wickedness. This transition serves as a reminder of the importance of individual faithfulness and the potential consequences of straying from God's ways.
