Melachim Bais 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.

Melachim Bais 18:5 In-Context

3 And he did that which was yashar in the sight of Hashem, according to all that Dovid Aviv did.

4 He removed the [idolatrous] high places and smashed the matzevot, and cut down the Asherah, and broke in pieces the nachash nechoshet that Moshe had made; for up to those yamim the Bnei Yisroel did burn ketoret to it; and it was called Nechushtan.

5 He trusted in Hashem Elohei Yisroel; so that after him was none like him among all the Melachim of Yehudah, nor any that were before him.

6 For his deveykus was to Hashem, he departed not from following Him, but was shomer over His mitzvot Hashem commanded Moshe.

7 And Hashem was with him; he prospered whithersoever he went forth; he rebelled against Melech Ashur, and served him not.
