portion was given to offer sacrifices continually to the one true God

They saw what was good and right before the Lord
They worshipped with all their heart
not worried about what others thought or did
They simply sought the Lord and he prospered them
Hezekiah had victory over the enemies that were threatening the people of God
32:8 The Lord our God will be with us and help us
The people rested upon the words of Hezekiah
32:24-33 Humbled himself before the Lord when he was lifted up in pride and God blessed him
However, When God tested Hezekiah, he failed to be all that Israel needed him to be. Instead he welcomed the enemy into Israel to see all the treasures
But Jesus is greater than Hezekiah
He is the great missional King that loved the nations even to the cross
He then sent out his church to bring in the nations to worship the one true God
Jesus will one day be victorious over every idol and every false god, every enemy and even satan
He was tried by God and was found true
He is worthy to sit on the throne
So we go into the world proclaiming his goodness and greatness
