THEOSISJerome of Stridon
It is stated in Scripture that Hezekiah was not rewarded for the kindness he showed, for his heart was lifted up (2 Chronicles 32:25). It is clear that only someone of questionable integrity would assert that Hezekiah was not a man of righteousness. One might argue that his sins disqualified him from being righteous; however, the Scriptures do not support such a claim. His righteousness was not annulled by minor failings, but was affirmed through his many virtuous deeds. This illustrates, as the Holy Scriptures attest, that those who are righteous do not become sinners merely due to occasional transgressions but are affirmed as righteous through their multitude of virtues.

Regarding another righteous king, Josiah, it is noted that he acted in a manner pleasing to the Lord, following the path of his ancestor David, without deviating (2 Chronicles 34:2). In moments of need, he sought the counsel of Huldah the prophetess, the spouse of Shallum, a keeper of the garments, who resided in the outskirts of Jerusalem. She conveyed to them the words of the Lord God of Israel, addressing the man who sent them, a message that implicitly rebuked the king, the priests, and the people, indicating that among the holy ones, none could predict the future.
