| Posted 1/3/2002 10:14 AM (GMT -6) |   | In "Bound Only Once, Thomas K. Ascol makes the point that God truly did intend to extend Hezekiah's life because his son Manasseh was born during that extra 15 years and if he hadn't been born God would have broken his promise to David that an heir would always be seated on his throne. Any comments from open theists? I was curious on other accounts, though. Was Manasseh Hezekiah's first son? Did he have any daughters? Harold

I will gladly pay you teusday for a hamburger today.

A brother would also be eligible to reign. In 2 Kings 24, Jehoiakim is succeeded by his son, Jehoiachin (who was apparantly childless [Jer. 22:30]), and then his brother, Mattaniah (Zedekiah).
Hezekiah was one of only two good kings in the history of the divided kingdom (Josiah was the other good one). It is interesting that he didn’t screw up until immediately after God granted him 15 more years (see 2 Kings 20:12ff.). His wicked son Manasseh, also born after Hezekiah’s recovery, undid all Hezekiah’s religious reforms, shedding “much innocent blood, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another” (2 Kings 21:16).
