2 Kings 18:3-7

English Standard Version

^3 (A)And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. ^4 (B)He removed the high places and broke the ^(C)pillars and cut down ^(D)the Asherah. And he broke in pieces ^(E)the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it (it was called Nehushtan).^{[a] 5 (F)}He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, ^(G)so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. ^6 (H)For he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses. ^7 (I)And the Lord was with him; wherever he went out, ^(J)he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and would not serve him.
