Bad Father, Good Son

Hezekiah's Dad - Ahaz

Ahaz “did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD his God” (2 K 16:2; 2 CHRON 28:1).

Ahaz was “continually unfaithful to the LORD” (2 CHRON 28:19).

When the going got tough, Ahaz “became increasingly unfaithful to the LORD” (2 CHRON 28:22).

He “shut up the doors of the house of the LORD” (2 CHRON 28:24).

Hezekiah overcame a bad home life...

Hezekiah “did what was right in the sight of the LORD” (2 CHRON 29:2; 32:1).

He overcame immediately (2 CHRON 29:3).

He was of a different spirit (2 CHRON 29:10; 31:21).
