Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

2 Kings 17
³⁸ And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
³⁹ But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
⁴⁰ Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
⁴¹ So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
2 Kings 18
¹ Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
² Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
³ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
⁴ He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
⁵ He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
⁶ For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
⁷ And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
