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:

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 pagan shrines, smashed the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke up the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because the people of Israel had been offering sacrifices to it. The bronze serpent was called Nehushtan.

5 Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before or after his time.

6 He remained faithful to the LORD in everything, and he carefully obeyed all the commands the LORD had given Moses.

7 So the LORD was with him, and Hezekiah was successful in everything he did. He revolted against the king of Assyria and refused to pay him tribute.

8 He also conquered the Philistines as far distant as Gaza and its territory, from their smallest outpost to their largest walled city.
