2 Kings 18:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ He trusted very strongly in the Lord God of Israel. In fact, none of the kings before or after him were as close to God as he was. ⁶ For he followed the Lord in everything, and carefully obeyed all of God’s commands to Moses. ⁷ So the Lord was with him and prospered everything he did. Then he rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to pay tribute any longer.
