2 Kings 18:4

⁴הוּא הֵסִיר אֶת־הַבָּמוֹת וְשִׁבַּר אֶת־הַמַּצֵּבֹת וְכָרַת אֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרָה וְכִתַּת נְחַשׁ הַנְּחֹשֶׁת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה כִּי עַד־הַיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה הָיוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מְקַטְּרִים לוֹ וַיִּקְרָא־לוֹ נְחֻשְׁתָּן ׃

2 Kings 18 opens with the reign of Hezekiah, a righteous king of Judah, who immediately sets about reforming the nation by destroying idols and trusting in the Lord. This chapter contrasts his faithfulness with the unfaithfulness of Israel, which leads to Samaria's fall to Assyria. The bulk of the chapter details Sennacherib's invasion of Judah and his blasphemous taunts against Jerusalem, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation between divine power and human arrogance.
