And the LORD was with him; and he prospered wherever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
All Commentaries on 2 Kings 18:7 Go To 2 Kings 18
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
A sovereign serves God one way as man, another way as king; he serves him as man by living according to faith, he serves him as king by exerting the necessary strength to sanction laws that command goodness and prohibit its opposite. It was thus that Hezekiah served him by destroying the groves and temples of idols and the high places that had been set up contrary to the commandments of God.
