Hezekiah Becomes King of Judah
18:1 In the third year of the reign of Israel’s King Hoshea son of Elah , Ahaz’s son Hezekiah became king over Judah .
18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign , and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem . His mother was Abi , the daughter of Zechariah .
18:3 He did what the Lord approved , just as his ancestor David had done .
18:4 He eliminated the high places , smashed the sacred pillars to bits, and cut down the Asherah pole . He also demolished the bronze serpent that Moses had made , for up to that time the Israelites had been offering incense to it; it was called Nehushtan .
18:5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel ; in this regard there was none like him among the kings of Judah either before or after .
