updv@2Kings: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.

updv@2Kings:18:2 @ He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

updv@2Kings:18:3 @ And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.

updv@2Kings:18:4 @ He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.

updv@2Kings:18:5 @ He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among them] who were before him.

updv@2Kings:18:6 @ For he stuck to Yahweh; he did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.

updv@2Kings:18:7 @ And Yahweh was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.

updv@2Kings:18:8 @ He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

updv@2Kings:18:9 @ And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

updv@2Kings:18:10 @ And at the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

updv@2Kings:18:11 @ And the king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

updv@2Kings:18:12 @ because they didn't obey the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the slave of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.

updv@2Kings:18:13 @ Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

updv@2Kings:18:14 @ And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which you put on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

updv@2Kings:18:15 @ And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house.

updv@2Kings:18:16 @ At that time Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of Yahweh, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
