2 Kings 18:4 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 18:4

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.

II Kings 18:4

They were now worshipping it. Incense, a symbol of prayer—they were praying to it and it had turned into an idol into their minds. Human nature has to be guarded against. It will take advantage of our willingness to be deceived. It is almost as if we want to be deceived.
