2 Kings 18:1-8
1And it happened in year three of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah son of Ahaz, king of Judah, became king. 2He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi daughter of Zechariah. 3He did what was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that David his father had done. 4He removed the high places, broke the standing stones, and cut down the Asherah; and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel had been burning incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan. 5In YHWH the Elohim of Israel he trusted; and after him there was not one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him. 6He clung to YHWH; he did not turn away from following him, but kept his commandments that YHWH commanded Moses. 7YHWH was with him; wherever he went out, he acted wisely. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. 8He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territories, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
