When King Hezekiah was about to die of an incurable illness, he begged God to spare his life since, he argued, a dead man could not serve the Lord. God added 15 years to his life. An entourage of nonbelieving royalties visited Hezekiah, which gave him the opportunity to tell them about a God who could postpone death. Hezekiah, however, failed to use the opportunity to tell of the God Who saved him from sickness and from death. Instead, he presented himself as a king who was healthy, wealthy, and wise -- in his own conceit. Lesson: Do not use God's blessings to steal His praise. Read 2 Kings 20.

King Hezekiah's indiscretion caused the downfall of his own kingdom and of Israel. Everything in his palace, and all that his predecessors had stored up until that day, was carried off to Babylon. Nothing was left. And some of his descendants, his own flesh and blood, were taken away to become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
