Scripture: 2 Kings 18-20 & 2 Chronicles 31:20 Hezekiah was the son of King Ahaz. Ahaz was the king of Judah. Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the 13th king of Judah, and Hezekiah was the king for 29 years in Jerusalem. Hezekiah did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Hezekiah repaired the temple and took down the idols that the people had been worshipping. (2 Chronicles 29:3) God said 'Do not have idols!' God had told Moses to make a bronze serpent for the people to look at when they were bitten by a snake while they were in the wilderness. But, over time, the people started to worship it and burn incense to it. Hezekiah knew that was wrong, so he broke it into pieces. (2 Kings 18:4) King Hezekiah trusted God. The Bible tells us in 2 Kings 18:5-6 that there wasn't any other king of Judah before or after him that was like him. Hezekiah stayed faithful to God, always following Him. He kept God's commandments that had been given to Moses. The Lord was with King Hezekiah and he prospered (did well) everywhere he went. The King of Assyria sent a great army to Jerusalem. They were standing at the aqueduct and called to King Hezekiah. Some of King Hezekiah's men went out to talk to them. They made fun of them and mocked King Hezekiah. (19) The army wanted Hezekiah's people to make a pledge to the king of Assyria, and shouted to everyone that the king of Assyria would win the fight and they shouldn't listen to King Hezekiah! King Hezekiah will not win the battle! Don't listen to King Hezekiah! When King Hezekiah heard about this, he tore his clothes and went into the temple. He sent his men to find Isaiah the prophet. (2 Kings 19:2) Isaiah told them to tell the king that the Lord has spoken and said not to be afraid. God said the King of Assyria will hear a rumor and will return home. He will die by the sword in his own land. King Hezekiah prayed to God to save the people. God told Isaiah the prophet that the King of Assyria would not fight in their city. Here is what happened. During the night, the angel of God went out and went to the Assyrian camp. The angel killed 185,000 people. When the people got up early the next morning, they found all the people dead. So, the king of Assyria returned home and stayed at Nineveh. (35-36) 2 Chronicles 31:20 Hezekiah was faithful to God. He did what was 'good and right and true'. All the work he did was according to the law and commandments of God. Hezekiah put his whole heart into his works and he prospered (did well). Click here to download.

As we studied Hezekiah for this lesson, the kids and I built walls and learned how to build up our faith, a great takeaway for a Hezekiah lesson.

This lesson was inspired by the Gospel Project curriculum we've been using at our church. It was created for a small group of K-5 students. The students Bible Lesson Plans for Kids Bible Lesson: King Hezekiah trusts God and asks for help

This week we are moving forward with our lessons about King Hezekiah. The KIDDOS will be learning about King Hezekiah's life being extended. The story comes from 2 Kings 20 and Isaiah 38. I LOVE seeing our WALL of INFORMATION GROWING!!!! It make is so easy to REVIEW PAST lessons!!! I am excited about teaching this lesson. The KIDDOS will get to learn all about the Miracle that occurred with a SUNDIAL. This is such an exciting lesson. This is our "GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN" CARD. We have two new words to add to our "WORD WALL." I want to make sure the KIDDOS understand what a BOIL and SUNDIAL have to do with this story. The KIDDOS will have a new MEMORY VERSE this week. I feel like this is a good MEMORY VERSE for this LESSON. PRAYER changes EVERYTHING!!! I want the KIDDOS to understand the BLESSING of PRAYER!!! If you would like to hear the TUNE to our NEWEST MEMORY VERSE please click the link. It will route you to the FACEBOOK page for Hands On Bible Teacher. Psalm 55:17, Memory Verse Song . We will be singing the ENTIRE SONG this week! I am excited to teach the SECOND VERSE!! YAY! If you would like to hear how this song goes please click on the link. It will route you to the FACEBOOK page for Hands On Bible Teacher. Hezekiah Was A Good and Righteous King Song. The KIDDOS TAKE HOME PROJECT is a "SUN DIAL" The sundial is made from inexpensive paper plates, scrap cardstock paper, and little printed paper suns. The KIDDOS will get to use MARKERS to color their Sundial. Then the KIDDOS will attach the "ARROW" part of the Sundial. Then the KIDDOS will glue on the little paper suns. I think they turned out really cute.....I hope the KIDDOS enjoy making them. Our REVIEW game this week is called "Shadows, Shadows Everywhere" matching game. The KIDDOS will answer a question from the lesson and then have the opportunity to turn over a set of cards and attempt to find the "SHADOW" match for the "REAL" picture they turned over. I purposefully left a SPACE between the REAL and the SHADOW...that way it will be a bit easier for the KIDDOS to know to pick one card from one side and one from the other side. Next week the KIDDOS will make this and add it to their EXPLORER JOURNAL. After coloring King Hezekiah, sick in his bed they will add a 3D crown and color and add the Sundial. I am LOVING the progress the KIDDOS are making. They seem to recalling PAST lessons and enjoying the current lessons. It is truly a blessing teaching the KIDDOS!!! Blessings, Ronda

Lesson 12 12. Ahaz 13. Hezekiah Kings #12 - #13 of Judah 2 Kings 16 & 18 2 Chronicles 28-32 12. Ahaz 2 Kings 15:38-16:20, 2 Chronicles 28-32 Ahaz became the king of Judah during the 17th year of King Pekah of Israel’s reign. He was the son of Jotham and was 20 years old. He was the king of Judah for 16 years in Jerusalem. He was evil and worshipped the idols instead of God. There were battles as usual and God used some of them against King Ahaz for his encouragement of moral decline and his unfaithfulness to God. King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel went to Jerusalem and besieged King Ahaz but couldn’t overtake him. Ahab did lose Elath to King Rezin and the Edomites lived there. Ahaz sent gifts to the king of Assyria asking for help. The king of Assyria came and conquered. He took Damascus and killed King Rezin of Syria. King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet with King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria. He saw an altar there and sent the design and pattern to Urijah the priest. The priest made a replica of the altar and when Ahaz returned, he made offerings and sacrifices on it. He changed some of the other items in the temple for his idol worship and Urijah the priest obeyed King Ahaz and not God’s law. The more problems Ahaz had, the more unfaithful to God he became. The idols ruined King Ahaz and his people. He cut up the articles in the temple of God and shut the doors to the temple. He built altars in every corner of Jerusalem. Every city of Judah had places to burn incense to the idols. God was very angry. When Ahaz died, he was buried in Jerusalem but not in the tombs of the kings. His son Hezekiah became the next king.  13. Hezekiah 2 Kings 16:20, 18:1-20:21, 2 Chronicles 29-32 Hezekiah became the king of Judah during the 3rd year of King Hoshea of Israel. He was the son of Ahaz and became the king when he was 25 years old. He was the king of Judah for 29 years in Jerusalem. He was a good king and did what right in God’s sight. King Hezekiah removed the altars, broke the idols and cut down the wooden idols. He broke the bronze serpent that Moses made into pieces. He trusted in God. There wasn’t another king like him. He was faithful to God. He kept His commandments. God was with King Hezekiah and he prospered. He fought against the king of Assyria and refused to serve him. He was also victorious over the Philistines. During his first month as king, he cleaned out the temple and told the Levites that they were to prepare to do their jobs in the temple. They were going to follow God’s laws while he was the king! They cleaned the temple and gathered the necessary items for worship. King Hezekiah also sent out letters to invite everyone to come and celebrate the Passover. They also gathered together to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It was during the 4th year he was the king of Judah that the Israel kingdom was taken captive by the Assyrians. King Hoshea was the king of Israel at the time. During Hezekiah’s 14th year, King Sennacherib of Assyria took the fortified cities of Judah, Hezekiah sent the Assyrian king a message that he had done wrong and would pay whatever he was told. Hezekiah sent the requested gold and silver to the king of Assyria, which made him feel more pride and power. The king of Assyria sent a huge army to Hezekiah. Some of Hezekiah’s men went to speak with them and the Assyrians mocked them for staying faithful to God. “Did they think that God would save them? Why are you putting your trust in Him? Do you think you have power to win a battle over the Assyrians?” The Assyrians shouted for everyone to hear that God would deliver them into the Assyrians hands. The people didn’t respond to them. Hezekiah told the people to “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or dismayed! There are more of us and we have the Lord on our side!” When King Hezekiah heard about it, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth. He went into the temple and sent for Isaiah the prophet. Isaiah told Hezekiah to ignore what the Assyrians had said because they blasphemed God. They would hear a rumor and return home. The Assyrians returned home and when Hezekiah read the message informing him, he prayed and praised God. Hezekiah became sick and was close to dying. Isaiah the prophet went to see him. Isaiah told him to get things in order because he wasn’t going to live. Hezekiah turned to the wall and prayed to God. He reminded God that he had been faithful. He cried severely. Isaiah was leaving and was in the middle court when God spoke to him. He went back to Hezekiah and told him that God heard his prayer and had seen his tears. God said he would give him a longer life and would heal him. On the third day that he went to the temple, God would give him 15 more years. He would also be safe from the king of Assyria. Isaiah told him to take a lump of figs and lay it on the boil and he was cured. King Hezekiah had great wealth and honor. He had treasuries of silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and other desirable things. He had storehouses for grain, wine and oil. He had an abundance of livestock and sheep. Hezekiah built a pool and a tunnel to bring water into the west side of the city. He prospered in everything he did. When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the upper tombs of the kings and all the people honored him. His son Manasseh became the king.

Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the 13th king of Judah, and Hezekiah was the king for 29 years in Jerusalem. Hezekiah did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Hezekiah repaired the temple and took down the idols that the people had been worshipping. (2 Chronicles 29:3) God said 'Do not have idols!' God had told Moses to make a bronze serpent for the people to look at when they were bitten by a snake while they were in the wilderness.

(19) The army wanted Hezekiah's people to make a pledge to the king of Assyria, and shouted to everyone that the king of Assyria would win the fight and they shouldn't listen to King Hezekiah!

The clay imprint, perhaps made by King Hezekiah himself, is the first such seal impression of an Israelite or Judean king found in a scientific archaeological excavation, experts said.

These preschool Bible lessons are created and used at home, so there are some basic preschool learning skills printables added to each post. The Bible lesson and Bible printables are suitable for home or Bible class use. This week we discussed H is for King Hezekiah. Hezekiah became 13th King of Judah when he was 25 years old. He was a king for 29 years. (2 Kings 18:2) Hezekiah was a very good king. He repaired the temple where the people worshipped God. King Hezekiah removed the idols. God had said "Do not make or worship idols." He also asked the people to return for the yearly Passover Feast. God had told His people to remember each year that He saved the Israelites with the 10 Plagues. He followed God and His commandments. (2 Kings 18:1-7) King Hezekiah became very sick and almost died. Isaiah the prophet went to visit him and told Hezekiah to put everything in order before he died. Hezekiah prayed and said that he had been faithful to God. Then Hezekiah cried because he was so sad. But, before Isaiah had even left, God told Isaiah to go back to Hezekiah. God said that He heard Hezekiah's prayer and would heal him! God said Hezekiah would live another 15 years! God hears our prayers. He doesn't always answer them with what we ask, but with what He thinks we need. (2 Kings 20:1-11) Hezekiah was faithful to God. He did what was 'good and right and true'. All the work he did was according to the law and commandments of God. Hezekiah put his whole heart into his works and he prospered (did well). (2 Chronicles 31:20) As I talked about Hezekiah, the kids acted out the lesson. It was short for preschoolers, but I mostly wanted them to understand that when we pray, we are praying to God. He always hears our prayers. He answered Hezekiah's prayers by helping him get better. But, God doesn't always give us what we pray for. Print the Hezekiah picture to color here.

King Josiah is lesson 6 in our through the Bible lesson series for preschoolers. This is a fun lesson about doing what God wants. King Josiah is found in the Old Testament. Josiah was 8 years old when he became the king of Judah! He was a king for 31 years. He was faithful to God. King Josiah told Shaphan the scribe to go to the temple. While the temple was being repaired, the high priest found the Book of the Law. After reading it, Shaphan took the Book of the Law to King Josiah. Shaphan the scribe showed King Josiah, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king. After the book of law was read to King Josiah, he was so upset, King Josiah tore his clothes! King Josiah said God has a lot of anger because we have not obeyed His words in the book! King Josiah was so upset and humble (meek) towards God. King Josiah was trying to find God's answers. And, God was happy with King Josiah. King Josiah gathered everyone together at the temple. He read the whole Book of the Law to all the people that had come to the temple. Then King Josiah stood by a pillar and made a promise to God. King Josiah said he would follow the Lord and keep His commandments and God's laws with his whole heart. All the people agreed to follow God’s Book of the Law! The Bible tells us that King Josiah loved God with all his heart and stayed faithful to Him. The lesson is found in 2 Kings 22-23. I found this really cute idea here for this style book. So, I wanted to use it for a preschool Bible lesson. They loved using King Josiah on a string. As you review the lesson, they can place Josiah on top of each page. There is a happy and sad Josiah. If you glue the front cover leaving the top open, it creates a pocket to store King Josiah in. The color and black & white are both included. Click here to download.

SPECIAL SONG: Be Careful Little Eyes (see March - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #3 on this blog) VISUAL AID: Large Activity (see below). LESSON POINTS: We have already learned that there was not even ONE good king in the Kingdom of Israel. All of the kings of Israel walked in the evil ways of Jeroboam and the people were carried away into Assyrian Captivity because they had not obeyed God as we studied last time. However, there were eight good kings of Judah. They were kings who loved God and obeyed Him. They tried to walk in God's ways like David did. Of these eight good kings (Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham, Hezekiah, and Josiah), the Bible says that there was not a king of Judah as good as Hezekiah. Good King Hezekiah trusted God and followed God's laws. Hezekiah kept God's commandments in the Law of Moses. He opened the doors of the temple, made repairs and cleaned the temple, brought the priests and Levites back to the temple, offered sacrifices to the LORD, and all the people worshiped God again. We have learned that the people would do what God wanted for a short time, but then after a while they would return to worshiping idols. So, when King Hezekiah was made king at 25 years old, there were idols in the land of Judah, but Hezekiah did the right thing. He did what God wanted him to do. He had the idols broken down and burned. Hezekiah did much good and trusted in God. Hezekiah followed God's plan. God has always had a plan for His people and it has always been a good plan. When the people followed God and His plan for the family, or for worship, or for whatever it might be, things always worked out for the best. That is what happened in Hezekiah's case. Hezekiah restored the worship, the temple, the law of the LORD, and things went well. He rebelled against the wicked king of Assyria and did not serve him. Hezekiah fought the Philistines and the Philistines went back to their own land. The Bible says that the Lord was with Hezekiah and that Hezekiah prospered or things got better for him. For a good while, things went well. We will study more about Hezekiah next time. "Older Student" Tips: Do you remember the lesson we have had in the past about Moses and the brass serpent? (See June - Lesson - Fiery Serpents! on this blog). Evidently, the people had been worshiping the brasen serpent that Moses had made, because in 2 Kings 18:4, Hezekiah broke the serpent into pieces because the people were burning incense to it. ACTIVITY: The G.K.H. Game (The Good King Hezekiah Game) This game resembles a game called the Memory Game where two cards match each other. Materials needed: two 12" x 18" pieces of the same color construction paper, one 3" x 6" different colored paper, a small rubber band, marker, scissors. Have the students cut the papers into 3" x 6" cards (or 3" x 5" index cards may be purchased from the store). Two papers should be cut into 24 cards for each student. On the different colored paper, write "The Good King Hezekiah Game" and "2 Kings 18" and "2 Chronicles 29." Stack the papers up in a stack and write G.K.H. on the backs of all the cards. This stands for Good King Hezekiah. Two cards should have the same sentence written on them. For example, here are a few sentences: G.K.H. was one of the 8 good kings of Judah. G.K.H. was the best king of Judah. G.K.H. trusted God. G.K.H. kept the Law of Moses. G.K.H. opened the doors of the temple. G.K.H. made repairs to the temple. G.K.H.cleaned the temple. G.K.H. brought the priests and Levites back to the temple. G.K.H. offered sacrifices to God. G.K.H. broke down the idols. G.K.H. followed God's ways. G.K.H. began to rule as king when he was 25 years old. 5. Before leaving class, wrap all cards with rubber band with different colored card on top. HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME: After making the game, the cards are shuffled. All the cards are placed on a table or the floor with the G.K.H. showing on top. The first player chooses two random cards by turning them over. The player reads the cards out loud. If the cards match, then the player keeps the cards. If they do not match, the cards are turned back over, so the G.K.H. shows on top. The player with the most cards, wins. All players must be good sports.
