2 Kings 18:3-6
New King James Version
3 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
4 (A)He removed the [a]high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the [b]wooden image and broke in pieces the (B)bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it [c]Nehushtan. 5 He (C)trusted in the Lord God of Israel, (D)so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him. 6 For he (E)held fast to the Lord; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
