2 Kings 18:1-5

1In the third year of Israel’s King Hoshea son of Elah, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became king of Judah.

2He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi daughter of Zechariah.

3He did what was right in the Lord’s sight just as his ancestor David had done.

4He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake that Moses made, for until then the Israelites were burning incense to it. It was called Nehushtan.

5Hezekiah relied on the Lord God of Israel; not one of the kings of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
