[Avodah] Chizkiyahu's Reforms

[Ben Waxman]

Makes me wonder why exactly was Hezqiyahu eligible to be Moshiach, had 
he been able to sing Shira. His failure to bring about real reform, the 
disaster that Ashur brought to Eretz Yisrael, his split with Yeshiyahu - 
how does this add up to someone who should have been Moshiach? Compared 
to these issues, his inability to sing Shira in the face of disaster was 
the minor problem, no?
