2 Kings 18:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Following the example of his ancestor King David, he did what was pleasing to the Lord. ^4 (A)He destroyed the pagan places of worship, broke the stone pillars, and cut down the images of the goddess Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze snake that Moses had made, which was called Nehushtan. Up to that time the people of Israel had burned incense in its honor. ⁵ Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel; Judah never had another king like him, either before or after his time.
