2 Kings 18:1-6

Hezekiah Reigns in Judah

1 aIn the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, bHezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. 2He was ctwenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was dAbi the daughter of Zechariah. 3 eAnd he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 4 fHe removed the high places and broke the gpillars and cut down hthe Asherah. And he broke in pieces ithe bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it (it was called Nehushtan).
 Nehushtan sounds like the Hebrew for both  bronze and  serpent
5 kHe trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, lso that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. 6 mFor he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses.
