他登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫亚比，是撒迦利雅的女儿。
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
他废去邱坛，毁坏柱像，砍下木偶，打碎摩西所造的铜蛇，因为到那时以色列人仍向铜蛇烧香。希西家叫铜蛇为铜块（或作人称铜蛇为铜像）。
He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
因为他专靠耶和华，总不离开，谨守耶和华所吩咐摩西的诫命。
For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
耶和华与他同在，他无论往何处去尽都亨通。他背叛，不肯事奉亚述王。
And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
希西家攻击非利士人，直到迦萨，并迦萨的四境，从了望楼到坚固城。
He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
希西家王第四年，就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚第七年，亚述王撒缦以色上来围困撒马利亚。
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
过了三年就攻取了城。希西家第六年，以色列王何细亚第九年，撒马利亚被攻取了。
And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
亚述王将以色列人掳到亚述，把他们安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河边，并米底亚人的城邑。
And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
都因他们不听从耶和华他们神的话，违背他的约，就是耶和华仆人摩西吩咐他们所当守的。
Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
希西家就把耶和华殿里和王宫府库里所有的银子都给了他。
And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
