Hezekiah was the twelfth King of Judah, the Southern Kingdom. He was one of the more godly Kings. He was instrumental in removing many of the false worship areas in Judea, and was continually trying to free Israel from outside nations and so fought many wars.. He has been given credit for having a tunnel built from the Spring of Gihon to a pool inside the walls of Jerusalem for a good water supply during enemy attack/sieges.

Hezekiah was a king of Judah who ruled from around 715 to 686 BC. He is known for his religious reforms, including removing pagan idols and restoring worship of the God of Israel. Hezekiah also faced the Assyrian invasion under Sennacherib, and legend has it that his prayers led to the miraculous deliverance of Jerusalem.
