4He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He also demolished the bronze snake called Nehushtan that Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had burned incense to it.
5Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. No king of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
6He remained faithful to the LORD and did not turn from following Him; he kept the commandments that the LORD had given Moses.
7And the LORD was with Hezekiah, and he prospered wherever he went. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to serve him.
— 2 Kings 18:4-7
