Context of 2 Kings 18:5
3And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done. 4He removed the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs, and broke in pieces the serpent of brass that Moses had made; for to those days the children of Israel burned incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] that were before him. 6And he clave to Jehovah, and did not turn aside from following him, but kept his commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses. 7And Jehovah was with him; he prospered whithersoever he went forth. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5He trusted in the Lord - See the character of this good king: He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; He clave to the Lord; He was steady in his religion; he departed not from following the Lord; He kept God's commandments.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5After him was none like him - The same is said of Josiah (marginal reference). The phrase was probably proverbial, and was not taken to mean more than we mean when we say that such and such a king was one of singular piety.Read the comment
