The tools that were used had changed and developed over time but the agent behind them remains the same, a human whose mind is subject to biases. Impartiality and accuracy of historical events are most ideal but this is not the case especially during wars and invasions. The diverging

KING HEZEKIAH Israel and Judah had many terrible kings throughout their time as territories. These kings helped separate the hearts of the people from God and turn them to pagan idols instead. Throughout these times, there were some kings that did right in the sight of God. One of these kings was Hezekiah. One of the terrible kings Judah had was Hezekiah’s father, Ahaz.

in a style not so different than that of other American writers. The narrator begins Chapter 11 with, “Janie wanted to ask Hezekiah about Tea Cake, but she was afraid he might misunderstand her and think she was interested” (139). Hurston contrasts this style by using a strong African-American dialect. Later in Chapter 11, Janie says to Hezekiah, “Oh dat’s all right, Hezekiah. Thank yuh mighty much” (143). Hurston chooses to define her characters’ voices using the vernacular in which

Now the kingdom of Judah was ruled by a man of God named Hezekiah. The Bible says, “He held fast to the Lord and did not cease to follow him; he kept the commandments the Lord had given Moses.” In the southern Kingdom the great Prophet Isaiah was working the will of the Lord and advising King Hezekiah.

Jody passes away, Janie acts gloomy and feels as if a part of her life is missing. Hezekiah attempts to replace Jody’s position and protect Janie. For instance, when he left to go to the baseball game, he “cautioned her about the catches on the windows and doors” (Hurston 94).

modern Bible versions it translates “Sheol” as “the grave”. Another word that translates hell into grave is “hades” in Greek language.

Bible Quiz Although, it has been said that crying is a rather unmanly thing to do, the Bible depicts an entirely different view concerning the shedding of tears. God said to King Hezekiah, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears.” (II Kings 20:5) On an occasion of great agony, David prayed to God, “put my tears into your bottle” (Psalms 56:8), suggesting that tears are sufficiently precious to be saved.

Chapter 9&10 “God never meant 'em tuh try tuh stand by theirselves. Joe, Janie 's husband had died & lots of men came by to check on her, telling her that a woman needs help and couldn 't make it on her own without a man.

An expanded interpretation of his role places the prophet as a channel for two-way exchanges. In these prophets not only were they to sound the alarm and make warnings but also mediate on the people’s behalf. As examples, Isaiah prayed for King Hezekiah healing (Isaiah 38) and Jeremiah extoled the pleas of both Israel and Judah in his Lamentations. Consequently, the focus of this essay will examine; God’s judgments, against Israel and Judah, his plans for restoration and the applicability to contemporary
