Hezekiah's prayer to God is a truly fascinating one, at just 39, he probably felt it was too early, considering he also didn't have an heir. His story teaches us a very lesson; God hears prayers and he sees our tears. Howbeit, in the extra 15 years that Hezekiah was given, he would go on to have the worst king Judah as a nation ever had, Manasseh took idolatry to overdrive. So what lessons can we take from this; should Hezekiah just have accepted his faith and be content God knows better or should he have been very deliberate with the extra years he was given? Whatever your answer, Hezekiah's legacy is Manasseh, the king on whom account God would decide to send Judah into exile too.
