← 2 Kings 18:5	2 Kings 18:6 (KJV)	2 Kings 18:7 →
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.	For he clave to the LORD, [and] departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.	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.
