Hezekiah the King by Mildred Duff and published by Classics.
This book, which is subtitled “The City Defended by God, recalls the story of King Hezekiah and how the Lord saved him and the residents of Jerusalem from the invading Assyrian army. What makes this volume so different, and therefore much more interesting for the reader, is that the author has woven into the Biblical story, historical accounts of the events from a purely secular viewpoint. Not only does this give the reader an insight to the events surrounding the defence and siege of Jerusalem, as well as the reign of King Hezekiah, but it serves to authenticate the historical accuracy of Scripture and reinforces the historical reliability of the word of God.
While this book was originally written for teenagers or young adults it would prove invaluable to Sunday School teachers, leaders of Bible Study groups or anyone seeking to understand both the Biblical and historical account of the reign of King Hezekiah and how the Lord helped him when confronted with pagan adversaries who were seeking to destroy the people of God.
