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.
