   Princ Ezechiáš bol druhorodeným synom kráľa Achaza, to ho však nijako neochránilo pred zvrátenými pokusmi jeho otca získať priazeň krutého boha ohňa Molocha. V hrôze a bezmocnosti pri nohách pohanskej modly sa prvý raz stretol s pravým Bohom svojho kráľovstva Jahvem. Jeho cesta k Najvyššiemu nebola jednoduchá. Ovplyvňovali ju najrôznejší ľudia: starý otec Zachariáš z kráľovského rodu, ktorý ho učil Jahveho zákonu, veľkňaz Uriáš, ktorý podľahol túžbe po moci natoľko, že jej dokázal obetovať aj vieru svojich otcov, a egyptský mudrc Sobna, ktorý mal dozerať na vzdelávanie mladého princa. Dôležitý vplyv na jeho život mala aj jeho matka, vďaka ktorej pochopil hlbší význam lásky a obety. Román nás vovedie do sveta izraelských kráľov a umožní nám lepšie pochopiť historické súvislosti a texty Knihy proroka Izaiáša.

   As King Hezekiah embraces God's Law, he leads his country into renewed prosperity. But following the will of Yahweh is a perplexing process, requiring unpopular choices--for both his personal life and political career. Now his archenemy's demands for tribute are forcing Hezekiah into a precarious situation. Jerusha, a young Jewish woman far from home, has seen firsthand what the dreaded invaders are capable of. As the powerful Assyrian army sweeps through the northern provinces, leaving little but devastation in its wake, Jerusha longs to escape. Her desperate will to live could become a link to Jerusalem's survival. With Assyria on the march, moving closer to the heart of Judah, Hezekiah's decision to follow the everlasting One is about to face the ultimate test.

   The legacy Hezekiah has established as one of Judah's great leaders is threatened: his beloved wife, Hephzibah, remains barren. Desperate to provide a successor to her husband's throne, Hephzibah makes a forbidden pact with the fertility goddess Asherah. Feeling repulsed and betrayed by her act of idolatry, Hezekiah destroys the pagan shrine. But in his rage, he himself is critically injured. As Hezekiah struggles to redeem his wife and save his nation, the aged prophet Isaiah arrives with divine instructions for the king to put his house in order and choose a successor. With his life—and the future of his kingdom—hanging in the balance, Hezekiah once more cries out to the Lord.

Unable to understand why his boyhood friend has turned against him, and why he must stand alone in the face of such opposition, Joshua comes perilously close to losing his faith.
