Hezekiah breaks in pieces the bronze serpent and trusts in the LORD, the God of Israel

히스기야가 놋뱀을 부수고 이스라엘 하나님 여호와를 의지함

2 Kings 18:4–8: he removes the high places, breaks the pillars, and cuts down the Asherah. He also breaks in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he calls it Nehushtan. He trusts in the LORD, the God of Israel, “so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.” For he joins with the LORD; he doesn’t depart from following him, but keeps his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. The text says, “The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered.” He rebels against the king of Assyria, and doesn’t serve him. He strikes the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. The Korean Revised Version names Hezekiah at 18:5 (히스기야가), where WEB reads “He”; it gives 18:4 no subject, so that it names no one who called the serpent Nehushtan (느후스단이라 일컬었더라); and it reads 이때까지, until this time, where WEB reads “in those days”.
