Hezekiah’s political administration (2Chr 32:1-33)
To the writer of Chronicles, Hezekiah’s religious reforms were the most important feature of his reign.
Politically, he was able to remain independent of Assyria, but only because God intervened in response to his faith (2Chr 32:1-23; see notes on 2 Kings 18:13-19:37).
He also made Judah prosperous. But pride in his achievements led him to become friendly with Babylon, the rising power in the region.
It was a policy that later brought disaster upon Judah (2Chr 32:24-33; see notes on 2 Kings 20:1-21).
