Hezekiah Destroys Idolatry in Judah
1 IN the third year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, reigned Ezechias the son of Achaz king of Juda.📜💬📚
2 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abi the daughter of Zacharias.📜💬📚
3 And he did that which was good before our Lord, according to all things which David his father had done.📜💬📚
4 He destroyed the excelses, and brake the statues in pieces, and cut down the groves, and brake the brazen serpent, which Moyses had made: for until that time the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called the name thereof Nohestan.📜💬📚
5 He trusted in our Lord the God of Israel: Therefore after him there was not the like to him in all the kings of Juda, yea neither among them that were before him:📜💬📚
6 and he cleaved to our Lord, and departed not from his steps, and he did his commandments, which our Lord commanded Moyses.📜💬📚
7 Wherefore our Lord also was with him, and in all things, to the which he proceeded, he behaved himself wisely. He rebelled also against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.📜💬📚
