1Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
3He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, and repaired them.
