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.
8 aHe1 subdued the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory, bfrom watchtower to fortified city.
