2 Kings 18:1-5

1Now it came to pass in the third yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that HezekiahH2396 the sonH1121 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.

2TwentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 old was he when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was Abi the daughterH1323 of ZechariahH2148.

3And he did that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah, according to all that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had done.

4He removedH5493 the highH1116 placesH1116, and brake the pillarsH4676, and cutH3772 down the AsherahH842: and he brake in pieces the brazen serpent that MosesH4872 had madeH6213; for unto those daysH3117 the children of IsraelH3478 did burn incenseH6999 to it; and he calledH7121 it Nehushtan.

5He trustedH982 in Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; so that after him wasH1961 none like him among all the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, nor among them that were before him.
