2 Kings 18:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 18:6

For he clave to the Lord
To his worship and service; to the fear of the Lord, as the Targum:

and departed not from following him;
from his worship, as the same paraphrase:

but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses;
both moral, ceremonial, and judicial.

2 Kings 18:6 In-Context

4 He removed the high places, smashed the standing-stones, cut down the asherah and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moshe had made; because in those days the people of Isra'el were making offerings to it, calling it N'chushtan.

5 He put his trust in ADONAI the God of Isra'el; after him there was no one like him among all the kings of Y'hudah, nor had there been among those before him.

6 For he clung to ADONAI and did not leave off following him, but obeyed his mitzvot, which ADONAI had given Moshe.

7 So ADONAI was with him. Wherever he went out to battle, he did well. He rebelled against the king of Ashur and refused to be his vassal.

8 He drove the P'lishtim back to 'Azah and laid waste to their territory from the watchtower to the fortified city.
