2 Kings 18:1-5

1Now it cameH1961 about 1in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954, the sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that 2HezekiahH2396 the sonH1121 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 becameH4427 kingH4427.

2He was 3twenty-fiveH6242H2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 twenty-nineH6242H8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AbiH21 the daughterH1323 of ZechariahH2148.

34He didH6213 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, according to allH3605 that his fatherH1 DavidH1732 had doneH6213.

45He removedH5493 the highH1116 placesH1116 and brokeH7665 downH7665 the sacred pillarsH4676 and cutH3772 downH3772 the 6AsherahH842. He also brokeH3807 in piecesH3807 7the bronzeH5178 serpentH5175 that MosesH4872 had madeH6213, for untilH5704 thoseH1992 daysH3117 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 burnedH6999 incenseH6999 to it; and it was calledH7121 8NehushtanH5180.

59He trustedH982 in the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; 10so that afterH310 him there was noneH3808 likeH3644 him among allH3605 the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, norH3808 among those whoH834 were beforeH6440 him.
