2 Kings 18:1-7

1Now it came to pass in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that HezekiahH2396 the sonH1121 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.1 2TwentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 also was AbiH21, the daughterH1323 of ZachariahH2148.2 3And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, according to all that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 didH6213.

4He removedH5493 the high placesH1116, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 the grovesH842, and brake in piecesH3807 the brasenH5178 serpentH5175 that MosesH4872 had madeH6213: for unto those daysH3117 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did burn incenseH6999 to it: and he calledH7121 it NehushtanH5180.34 5He trustedH982 in YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; so that afterH310 him was none like him among all the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, nor any that were beforeH6440 him. 6For he claveH1692 to YhwhH3068, and departedH5493 not from followingH310 him, but keptH8104 his commandmentsH4687, which YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.5 7And YhwhH3068 was with him; and he prosperedH7919 whithersoever he went forthH3318: and he rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and servedH5647 him not.
