2 Kings 18:3

Hezekiah Reigns in Judah

1 Now it came to pass in the third year of ^aHoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that ^bHezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was ^aAbi the daughter of Zechariah.

3 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.

4 ^aHe removed the¹ high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the² wooden image and broke in pieces the ^bbronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it³ Nehushtan.

5 He ^atrusted in the Lord God of Israel, ^bso that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him.

6 For he ^aheld fast to the Lord; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.

7 The Lord ^awas with him; he ^bprospered wherever he went. And he ^crebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
