 What a happy circle of blessings! God’s favor and spiritual prosperity accompany faithfulness. (Hezekiah and the First Revival: 2 Kings 18:1-18 by H.L. Rossier)
 He acted in opposite fashion to how his father Ahaz had done, who, solemnly warned by Isaiah not to fear the attack of Rezin, king of Syria, and of Pekah, son of Remaliah, and exhorted to ask of the Lord a sign that His promise would be fulfilled, had preferred to have recourse to the Assyrian. (Hezekiah and the First Revival: 2 Kings 18:1-18 by H.L. Rossier)
 Hezekiah, it seems to us, acted according to God in not recognizing this authority. It was not the same later on for Judah, when it had to do with Babylon, as we can see in Jeremiah and at the end of our book. To revolt against Nebuchadnezzar when God has transferred the sovereignty to him and was using this yoke as a judgment upon Judah, was to revolt against God. In Hezekiah’s case, it was a declining to accord to the Assyrian an authority which God had in no wise given him. (Hezekiah and the First Revival: 2 Kings 18:1-18 by H.L. Rossier)
