2 Kings 18:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Hezekiah obeyed the Lord, just as his ancestor David had done. ^4 (A) He destroyed the local shrines, then tore down the images of foreign gods and cut down the sacred pole for worshiping the goddess Asherah. He also smashed the bronze snake Moses had made. The people had named it Nehushtan^[a] and had been offering sacrifices to it.

⁵ Hezekiah trusted the Lord God of Israel. No other king of Judah was like Hezekiah, either before or after him.
