2 Kings 18:3-6

2 Kings 17 2 Kings 19

2 Kings 18:3-6 New International Version (NIV)

³He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. ⁴He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.^[a])

⁵Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him. ⁶He held fast to the Lord and did not stop following him; he kept the commands the Lord had given Moses.

Footnotes:

2 Kings 18:4 Nehushtan sounds like the Hebrew for both bronze and snake.
