Usage: Jechizkijah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is an alternate form of the name Hezekiah, a king of Judah.

Context: Jechizkijah, also known as Hezekiah, was a significant king of Judah, noted for his religious reforms and efforts to centralize worship in Jerusalem. He reigned during a tumultuous period marked by the threat of Assyrian expansion. Jechizkijah is recognized for his faithfulness to Yahweh, as he removed high places, smashed sacred stones, and cut down Asherah poles, striving to restore the worship of Yahweh alone. His reign is detailed in several biblical passages, including 2 Kings 18-20, 2 Chronicles 29-32, and Isaiah 36-39. Jechizkijah's trust in Yahweh was exemplified during the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem, where he sought divine intervention, resulting in the miraculous deliverance of the city. His life and reign are often cited as examples of piety and reliance on God.
