Tara Lee Cobble: 我对希西家王的故事结局感到失望，因为他浪费了上帝赐予的额外十五年生命，最终因骄傲而堕落。历代志侧重于宏观叙事，而非个人细节，因此希西家浪费生命的部分并未详细描述。在亚述入侵之前，希西家是一位英明的君王，忠于上帝和犹大百姓。面对亚述的侵略，他采取了军事和属灵的策略：切断水源，加固城防，并激励军队，强调上帝的帮助而非自身能力。这与当今社会流行的‘相信自己’的观念形成鲜明对比，圣经强调的是相信上帝。希西家将这场战争视为属灵的争战，向神呼求，上帝也通过天使（很可能是上帝的显现）回应了他的祷告，为犹大争战。战争胜利后，希西家接受了大量礼物和赞美，这可能导致了他的骄傲和堕落。他后来的骄傲和堕落与他接受的礼物和赞美有关，这提醒我们不要忘记上帝的恩典。考古学家发现了希西家的印章，证实了他的统治。他的儿子玛拿西是一个邪恶的国王，他推翻了他父亲的许多善政，甚至烧杀祭祀自己的儿子。然而，上帝最终也拯救了玛拿西，他的悔改与他目光的转向有关：希西家目光内向，骄傲自满；玛拿西目光向上，谦卑悔改。希西家和玛拿西的故事形成对比，展现了上帝改变人心，引导我们目光转向他的话语。
