Hezekiah showed unwavering faith in Jehovah

37:1, 2, 14-20, 36

• He did what he reasonably could to prepare the city for the siege

• He prayed to Jehovah for deliverance and encouraged the people to do the same

• His faith was rewarded when Jehovah sent an angel to strike down 185,000 Assyrian warriors in one night

It is important for us to trust in Jehovah both in good times and in bad. (Ps 25:1, 2) In the eighth century B.C.E., the Jews in Judah faced a crisis that tested their trust in God. What occurred provides many lessons for us. (Ro 15:4) After watching the video “O Jehovah, . . . I Trust in You,” how would you answer the following questions?

1. What crisis did Hezekiah face?

2. How did Hezekiah apply the principle found at Proverbs 22:3 when anticipating a possible siege?

3. Why did Hezekiah not consider surrendering to Assyria or making an alliance with Egypt?

4. How is Hezekiah a good example for Christians?

5. What situations today test our trust in Jehovah?
