Hezekiah was reassured that his own lifetime would see peace and security. [51] According to Isaiah, Hezekiah lived another 15 years after praying to God. [52] His son and successor, Manasseh, was born during this time: he was 12 years of age when he succeeded Hezekiah. [53]
[82] [83] Some believe the individual to be Hezekiah, who, according to Isaiah 38:5, lived another 15 years (i.e., "prolonging his days") after praying to God while ill (i.e., "acquainted with grief").

Manasseh's last year, 33 years earlier, would be 643/642 BC. The length of Manasseh's reign is given as 55 years in 2 Kings 20:21 . Assuming non-accession reckoning, as he usually did for coregencies, Thiele determined 54 "actual" years back to 697/696 BC, as the year when the Hezekiah/Manasseh coregency began.

Based on his conclusions, Thiele showed that the 14 years between Ahab and Jehu were really 12 years. This enabled him to date their reigns precisely, for Ahab is mentioned in the Kurk Stele which records the Assyrian advance into Syria/Israel at the Battle of Qarqar in 853 BC, and Jehu is mentioned on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III paying tribute in 841 BC.
