2 Kings 18:7 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 18:7

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.

9 Now ^ait came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

10 And at the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, ^athe ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
