This week we re-enter the historical narrative and prophetic books. The passages are Isaiah 18-27, 29-39, Micah 2-7, 2 Chronicles 32, 2 Kings 18-20. Chronologically, we are still within Hezekiah's lifetime (c. 700 B.C.). Hezekiah is only one of 4 of Judah's kings who is described in Scripture one who "did what was right in [...]
