Commentary

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
**20. Hezekiah ... wrought that which was good and right--**He displayed the qualities of a constitutional king, in restoring and upholding the ancient institutions of the kingdom; while his zealous and persevering efforts to promote the cause of true religion and the best interests of his subjects entitled him to be ranked with the most illustrious of his predecessors (2Ki 18:15).
