2 Kings 18:3-6
New American Standard Bible
3 (A)He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in accordance with everything that his father David had done. 4 (B)He removed the high places and smashed the memorial stones to pieces, and cut down the [a]Asherah. He also crushed to pieces (C)the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel had been burning incense to it; and it was called [b]Nehushtan. 5 (D)He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel; and (E)after him there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who came before him. 6 For he (F)clung to the Lord; he did not desist from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
