Note on Husband: Hezekiah
King Khizkiya I (Hezekiah) (b. 726 B.C.E., ruled Judah 715-695 B.C.E.). His mother saved him from death when he was a child by covering him with the fire proof blood of the Salamander. He was thus able to survive an idolatrous fire ritual. Hezekiah was an outstanding religious monarch who purged the Israelite religion of heathen accretions and destroyed the brazen serpent which had been turned into an object of idolatry. He re-opened the Temple. Gained for a time some independence from Assyria. When Hezekiah fell mortally ill he was visited by the prophet Isaiah who reprimanded him for not marrying and having children. Hezekiah repented, recovered from his illness, and married Hephzibah daughter of Isaiah. Children: Bilhah (married to a foreign price), and Manasseh, the crown prince.1
