He
did right in the
sight of the
LORD, according to
all that his
father David had
done.

He
removed the
high places and
broke down the sacred
pillars and
cut down the
Asherah. He also
broke in
pieces the
bronze serpent that
Moses had
made, for
until those days the
sons of
Israel burned incense to it; and it was
called Nehushtan.

He
trusted in the
LORD, the
God of
Israel; so that
after him there was
none like him among
all the
kings of
Judah,
nor among those
who were
before him.

For he
clung to the
LORD; he did not
depart from
following Him, but
kept His
commandments,
which the
LORD had
commanded Moses.

And the

wherever * he
went he
prospered. And he
rebelled against the
king of
Assyria and did not
serve him.

He
defeated the
Philistines as
far as
Gaza and its
territory, from
watchtower to
fortified city.

Now in the
fourth year of
King Hezekiah,
which was the
seventh year of
Hoshea son of
Elah king of
Israel,
Shalmaneser king of
Assyria came up
against Samaria and
besieged * it.

At the

which was the
ninth year of
Hoshea king of
Israel,
Samaria was
captured.

Then the

put them in

neither listen nor do it.
