2 Kings 18:6 In-Context

4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moshe had made; for to those days the children of Yisra'el did burn incense to it; and he called it Nechushtan.

5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Yisra'el; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Yehudah, nor [among them] that were before him.

6 For he joined with the LORD; he didn't depart from following him, but kept his mitzvot, which the LORD commanded Moshe.

7 The LORD was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Ashshur, and didn't serve him.

8 He struck the Pelishtim to `Aza and the borders of it, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
