Confident: Friday May 15 - Morning

2 Kings 18:1-7
In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of 
Judah began to reign. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he 
reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of 
Zechariah. 3 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had 
done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the 
Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that 

time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.) 5 Hezekiah 
trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of 
Judah, either before him or after him. 6 He held fast to the LORD and did not stop 
following him; he kept the commands the LORD had given Moses. 7 And the LORD was 
with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. He rebelled against the king of 
Assyria and did not serve him.
