Unlike his father Achaz, Hezkiah was a great king for the Jewish people. They say he is a lot like David Hamelech. He believed in G-d and that he could turn the Jewish people around. Hekiah got rid of all of the Bamot throughout the nation and cleaned out the Beit Hamikdash. He got it up and running except for the Korbanot. He did what was good in the eyes of Hashem, the people started to do the mitzvot and follow the torah. But he only emphasized the mitzvot of Ben Adam LeMakom.
It was great learning about Hezkiah after hearing all of the bad things in the previous praakim. I think he did a great job on turning the Jewish people around, but of course I think he should have also worked on Ben Adam Lechavero.
