2 Kings 18:1-12

Now it came to pass in the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of Hoshea
<01954>
son
<01121>
of Elah
<0425>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[that] Hezekiah
<02396>
the son
<01121>
of Ahaz
<0271>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
began to reign
<04427> (8804)_.
{Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias}
Twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
was he when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_;
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
twenty
<06242>
and nine
<08672>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
His mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
also [was] Abi
<021>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Zachariah
<02148>_.
{Abi: also called, Abijah}
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that David
<01732>
his father
<01>
did
<06213> (8804)_.
He removed
<05493> (8689)
the high places
<01116>_,
and brake
<07665> (8765)
the images
<04676>_,
and cut down
<03772> (8804)
the groves
<0842>_,
and brake in pieces
<03807> (8765)
the brasen
<05178>
serpent
<05175>
that Moses
<04872>
had made
<06213> (8804)_:
for unto those days
<03117>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did burn incense
<06999> (8764)
to it: and he called
<07121> (8799)
it Nehushtan
<05180>_.
{images: Heb. statues} {Nehushtan: that is, A piece of brass}
He trusted
<0982> (8804)
in the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
so that after
<0310>
him was none like him among all the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
nor [any] that were before
<06440>
him.
For he clave
<01692> (8799)
to the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] departed
<05493> (8804)
not from following
<0310>
him, but kept
<08104> (8799)
his commandments
<04687>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Moses
<04872>_.
{from...: Heb. from after him}
And the LORD
<03068>
was with him; [and] he prospered
<07919> (8686)
whithersoever he went forth
<03318> (8799)_:
and he rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and served
<05647> (8804)
him not.
He smote
<05221> (8689)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
[even] unto Gaza
<05804>_,
and the borders
<01366>
thereof, from the tower
<04026>
of the watchmen
<05341> (8802)
to the fenced
<04013>
city
<05892>_.
{Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
And it came to pass in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>_,
which [was] the seventh
<07637>
year
<08141>
of Hoshea
<01954>
son
<01121>
of Elah
<0425>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[that] Shalmaneser
<08022>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
came up
<05927> (8804)
against Samaria
<08111>_,
and besieged
<06696> (8799)
it.
And at the end
<07097>
of three
<07969>
years
<08141>
they took
<03920> (8799)
it: [even] in the sixth
<08337>
year
<08141>
of Hezekiah
<02396>_,
that [is] the ninth
<08672>
year
<08141>
of Hoshea
<01954>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Samaria
<08111>
was taken
<03920> (8738)_.
And the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
did carry away
<01540> (8686)
Israel
<03478>
unto Assyria
<0804>_,
and put
<05148> (8686)
them in Halah
<02477>
and in Habor
<02249>
[by] the river
<05104>
of Gozan
<01470>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of the Medes
<04074>_:
Because they obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
but transgressed
<05674> (8799)
his covenant
<01285>_,
[and] all that Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
and would not hear
<08085> (8804)
[them], nor do
<06213> (8804)
[them].
