Hizkiyah’s reign over Yehudah

18:1 Hizkiyah’s reign over Yehudah

Southern kingdom

(2 Chr. 29:1-2)

18In the third year of Elah’s son King Hoshea’s reign over Yisrael, Ahaz’s son Hizkiyah (Hezekiah) became king of Yehudah. 2He was twenty-five when he became king and he reigned from Yerushalem for twenty-nine years. (His mother was Zekaryah’s daughter Abi.) 3He did what Yahweh had said was correct behaviour like his ancestor King David had done. 4He demolished the hilltop shrines and shattered their pillars, and he cut down the Asherah poles. He crushed the bronze serpent that Mosheh had made, because the Israelis had named it ‘Nehushtan’ and had been offering incense to it until then.[ref] 5Hizkiyah fully trusted in Yisrael’s God Yahweh, and no other king was like him among all the kings of Yehudah that either preceded or followed him. 6He relied completely on Yahweh—not turning away from following him, and he obeyed the instructions that Yahweh had commanded Mosheh. 7So Yahweh helped him and he was successful in everything he did. He rebelled against the Assyrian king and refused to submit to his demands. 8He attacked and defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its borders—both the smaller towns and the fortified city.

9Then in the fourth year of King Hizkiyah’s reign (it was the seventh year of Elah’s son Hoshea’s reign over Yisrael), the Assyrian King Shalmaneser had attacked Shomron (Samaria) and besieged it. 10They had finally captured the city after three years. That was the sixth year of Hizkiyah’s reign over Yehudah and the ninth year of Hoshea’s reign over Yisrael. 11So that was when the Assyrian king had exiled the people of the northern kingdom of Yisrael to Halah and to Havor along the Gozan River, and to the cities of the Medes. 12That happened because they didn’t obey their God Yahweh, but instead they broke the agreement with him—everything that Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had commanded. They didn’t take notice of it and they didn’t obey it.
