Hezekiah (; Hebrew: ; (ギリシア語:Ἐζεκίας), ''Ezekias'', in the Septuagint; (ラテン語:Ezechias); also transliterated as ''Ḥizkiyyahu'' or ''Ḥizkiyyah'') was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the son of Ahaz and the 13th king of Judah.〔Harris, Stephen L., ''Understanding the Bible''. Palo Alto: Mayfield. 1985. "Glossary", pp. 367–432〕 Archaeologist Edwin Thiele has concluded that his reign was between c. 715 and 686 BC.〔Edwin Thiele, ''The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings'', (1st ed.; New York: Macmillan, 1951; 2d ed.; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1965; 3rd ed.; Grand Rapids: Zondervan/Kregel, 1983). ISBN 0-8254-3825-X, 9780825438257, 217.〕 He is also one of the most prominent kings of Judah mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and is one of the kings mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. According to the Hebrew Bible, Hezekiah witnessed the destruction of the northern Kingdom of Israel by Sargon's Assyrians in c. 720 BC and was king of Judah during the invasion and siege of Jerusalem by Sennacherib in 701 BC.〔"Hezekiah." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2009. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. 12 Nov 2009 (Read online )〕 Hezekiah enacted sweeping religious reforms, including a strict mandate for the sole worship of Yahweh and a prohibition on venerating other deities within the Temple in Jerusalem.〔 Isaiah and Micah prophesied during his reign.〔 ==Etymology== Hezekiah, more properly transliterated as Ḥizkiyyahu (and sometimes as Ezekias) (Hebrew: (unicode:Ḥizqiyyāhu), Khizkiyahu; or (unicode:Yəḥizqiyyāhu), Y'khizkiyahu); ; or Ḥizkiyyah (Hebrew: (unicode:Ḥizqiyyāh)). The root of the name Ḥizkiyyahu is חזק, a verb stem that can mean :''"strengthen", "fortify"'' in the pi'él: , :''"hold", "seize"'' in the hif'il: , and :''"gather one's strength", "take courage"'' in the hitpa'él: . It also spawns a number of nouns, including : ''"strength"'', and : ''"taking hold", "seizing", "occupying", "presumption''" (entitlement ). as well as the adjectives : ''"strong"''. Accordingly, Ḥizkiyyahu can be said to mean something like ''"Strengthened by Yahweh"''.,〔http://messiahtruth.yuku.com/sreply/39873/t/-truth---claim----Jews--Jesus-wrote-----claim--Jesus---Messi.html Professor Mordochai ben Tzyyion, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel〕 or "Yah is my strength"/"My strength is Yah" (and see Psalms 18:2). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hezekiah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
