2 Re 18:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 18:5

He trusted in the Lord God of Israel
To be his protector and defender, and had no dependence on idols as an arm of flesh; the Targum is, he trusted in the Word of the Lord God; not in Nehushtan, but in him the brasen serpent was a type of, even in the Word and Son of God, his alone Saviour and Redeemer:

so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah:
for though Josiah was like him in some things, yet not in all:

nor any that were before him;
from the times of the division of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah; and Ben Gersom and Abarbinel think that David and Solomon are not to be excepted; David sinning in the case of Uriah, and Solomon falling into idolatry, crimes that Hezekiah was not guilty of.

2 Re 18:5 In-Context

3 Egli fece quello che piace al Signore, interamente come avea fatto Davide, suo padre.
4 Egli tolse via gli alti luoghi, e spezzò le statue, e tagliò i boschi, e stritolò il serpente di rame che Mosè avea fatto; perciocchè infino a quel tempo i figliuoli d’Israele gli facevano profumi; e lo chiamò Nehustan.
5 Egli mise la sua confidenza nel Signore Iddio d’Israele; e giammai, nè davanti nè dopo lui, non vi è stato alcuno pari a lui, fra tutti i re di Giuda.
6 E si attenne al Signore, e non si rivolse indietro da lui; anzi osservò i comandamenti ch’egli avea dati a Mosè.
7 Laonde il Signore fu con lui; dovunque egli andava, prosperava. Ed egli si ribellò dal re degli Assiri, e non gli fu più soggetto.
