== Hezekiah in popular culture ==
== Hezekiah in fiction==
In [[Dante's Paradiso]], Hezekiah is named as one of the six most virtuous rulers in history.
In 2001, playwright Michael English wrote a short [[theater|theatrical]] play mentioning Hezekiah and his illness.<ref name=English>English, Michael. [http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/milton/drama/HezekiahsIllness.html Hezekiah's Illness] All Saints Milton Anglican Parish, 2001.</ref> Hezekiah's breaking of the brass serpent also figures prominently in a work of fiction involving a conspiracy to reassemble the pieces of the serpent, and a theory that some of [[Nebuchadnezzar II]]'s astrologers might have reassembled the serpent and used it as a medium to inscribe the location of the parts of Nebuchadnezzar's great gold image.
