When Aaron saw the temper of the queen, he feared lest the multitude, in the hardness of their hearts, would raise a great commotion, and be the cause of hindering the work of God which had so auspiciously begun with the conversion of the king. Therefore he put forth his hand and raised the monarch from the earth, saying to him as he did so, "Stand." The king arose at once and received back his strength. At the sight of this great showing of superhuman power, the queen and the king's servants greatly wondered, and they were filled with exceeding great fear. They did not know the purposes of the Lord in this mighty exhibition of His tender care.
Then the king began to explain to them what he had learned with regard to God and His Gospel, and he spoke with such great power that his whole household was converted thereto. The multitude that had gathered at the queen's call were also pacified by his words, and when the king saw that their hearts were softened, he caused that Aaron and his brethren should stand forth and teach them the Word of God.
