2 Kings 18:1-8
Hezekiah Reigns over Judah
18Now it happened ain the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah king of Israel, that bHezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king. 2He was atwenty-five years old when he became king; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah. 3aAnd he did what was right in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done. 4aHe took away the high places and shattered the sacred pillars and cut down the 1Asherah. And he broke in pieces bthe bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel were burning incense to it; and it was called 2Nehushtan. 5aHe trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; bso that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him. 6So he aclung to Yahweh; he did not turn away from following Him, but kept His commandments, which Yahweh had commanded Moses.
