Hezekiah removes the high places

Hezekiah trusted the LORD, removed the high places and sacred pillars, and broke the bronze serpent because Israel had begun burning incense to it. He held fast to the LORD and rebelled against Assyria (2 Kings 18:1-8).

📖 2 Kings 18:1–3

1In the third year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became king of Judah. 2He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah. 3And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
