Hello Mr. Buggs, and welcome to our friendly forum! How many little Soldiers of Christ has your wife born for you by now? At your age, your quiver must certainly be a site to see (Psalm 127:3-5)!
Hello to you Mary, and thank you. My wife - Mrs Buggs - has brought forth 5 strapping young men; Fenton, Marton, Burton, Horton and Kenton. These 5 have begat a further 13 grandkids thus far. We also have daughters and granddaughters. Mrs Buggs likes to say that my quiver overfloweth.

Oh? Refresh my memory. Please link to the exact book/chapter/verse that says Hezekiah was married to Hephzibah.
Pro-tip: Jesus' mother was Mary, but Joseph was not His father.
Yours in Christ,

I thank you for your relentless Biblical diligence brother.
I trust these verses will suffice:
2 Kings 21:1
21 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
Matthew 1:10
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
So Ezekias (Hezekiah) was the father of Manasseh, and Hephzibah was his mother.
I bow to your point: the marriage of Ezekias/Hezekiah and Hephzibah does not seem to be alluded to in the Book.
Indeed not friend! It is simply his unwillingness to be married that I refer to. Scripture tells us he was married to Hephzibah, and as you know, every verse in The Bible is as important, true and holy as every other verse, so I thank you for continuing the discussion on this topic.
In Christ,
Buggs (H.)

Hello Hezekiah Buggs. Are you trying to say that Hezekiah did not get married that would be something because he had a son called Manasseh. Also he was in his 40s when he had a son that seems like a long time to think about things my first child was born when I was 22 he is a doctor.
Thank you.

Although as I'm sure you're aware, the KJV - the one and only inerrant Word of Christ Jesus - makes no reference I can find to the unwillingness of Hezekiah to marry. This is because it must not have happened. The following passage speaks movingly about his wife Hephzibah.
Isaiah 62:5
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
Fingers a-tremble with passion for Christ, I have mis-linked the passage to the New International PerVersion.
Forgive me Lord.
Forgive me Brethren. Here is the true link.
Good day to you Russell. You are right concerning King Hezekiah - this part of Scripture shows us, I believe, that however much a man may not want to marry a woman, he is duty-bound to the Lord to find one and do so. I have struggled with this teaching myself in the past.
I am indeed old - like you.

You sound like a decent sort. What church do you go to and when did you start your walk with Christ?

Thank you Dr. I attend the Seventh Day Primitive (&c) Church in Toad Suck, Arkansas. I entered the bosom of the Lord Jesus in November 1981 after enduring three decades - I freely admit it - of "Catholic" filth, depravity, homo-gay lies and Satanic perversity.
Hello Hezekiah Buggs. I know your name from the Old Testament it is the part before Jesus. I am talking about the Hezekiah part of your name and not the Buggs part of your name. King Hezekiah did not want to get married but eventually he did. I think most men are like that.
You look old like me. I am not trying to be mean.
Thank you.

H*ck yes! It's a pleasure to come here and discover that the World Wide Web is not JUST a vile sewer pumping an endless variety of graphic homosexual images into the American home.
