- Hezekiah:
- "And when he was in affliction,ª° he besoughtª°¹ the LORDª¹ his God,ª and humbled²° himself¹ greatlyª beforeª¹ the Godª of his fathers,ª" {2Ch 33:12} + "His prayerª also, and [how God] was intreatedª° of him, and all¹ his sin,ª and his trespass,ª and the placesª wherein¹ he builtª° high places,ª and set upª° grovesª and graven images,ª beforeª he was humbled:ª° behold,¹ they [are] writtenª° among¹ the sayingsª of the seers.ª²°" {2Ch 33:19} + "And humbled²° not himself¹¹ beforeª¹ the LORD,ª as Manassehª his fatherª had humbled²° himself;¹ but¹ Amonª trespassedª more and more.ª°" {2Ch 33:23} + "Because¹ thine heartª was tender,ª° and thou didst humble²° thyself¹ beforeª¹ God,ª when thou heardestª°¹ his wordsª against¹ this¹ place,ª and against¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof, and humbledst²° thyself¹ beforeª me, and didst rendª°¹ thy clothes,ª and weepª° beforeª me; I¹ have even heardª° [thee] also,¹ saithª° the LORD.ª" {2Ch 34:27} + "If they shall confessª°¹ their iniquity,ª and the iniquityª of their fathers,ª with their trespassª which¹ they trespassedª° against me, and that¹ also¹ they have walkedª° contraryª unto¹ me; ... And [that] I¹ also¹ have walked²°¹ contraryª unto¹ them, and have broughtª° them into the landª of their enemies;ª° if¹ then²¹ their uncircumcisedª heartsª be humbled,ª° and they then¹ acceptª° of¹ the punishment of their iniquity:ª" {Lev 26:40-41} + "Then saidª° Hezekiahª unto¹ Isaiah,ª Goodª [is] the wordª of the LORDª which¹ thou hast spoken.ª° And he said,ª° [Is it] not¹ [good], if¹ peaceª and truthª be¹ in my days?ª" {2Kg 20:19} + "Micahª the Morasthiteª prophesiedª°¹ in the daysª of Hezekiahª kingª of Judah,ª and spakeª° to¹ all¹ the peopleª of Judah,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª Zionª shall be plowedª° [like] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of a forest.ª ... Did Hezekiahª kingª of Judahª and all¹ Judahª put him at all²° to death?ª° did he not¹ fear²¹¹ the LORD,ª and besoughtª°¹¹ the LORD,ª² and the LORDª repentedª° him of¹ the evilª which¹ he had pronouncedª° against¹ them? Thus² might we¹ procureª° greatª evilª against¹ our souls.ª" {Jer 26:18-19} + "Humble yourselvesª° in the sightª of the¹ Lord,ª andª he shall lift²° you² up.ª°¹" {Jms 4:10}
