[World 3284] [Hezekiah 3] [Hoshea 6] [Division 255] HEZEKIAH still go∣eth [Hezekiah 4] [Hoshea 7] [Division 256] on in his upright∣ness, [Hezekiah 5] [Hoshea 8] [Division 257] and in reforming: He de∣stroyeth the brazen Serpent [World 3287] [Hezekiah 6] [Hoshea 9] [Division 258] which the people had Idolized. [Hezekiah 7] [Division 259] It was now about seven hun∣dred [Hezekiah 8] [Division 260] and thirty years old. He [Hezekiah 9] [Division 261] conquereth the Philistims, as [Hezekiah 10] [Division 262] Esay had prophesied of him, [Hezekiah 11] [Division 263] Esay 14. 28. and smote them [Hezekiah 12] [Division 264] even unto Gaza and the bor∣ders [Hezekiah 13] [Division 265] thereof 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 i. e. both garrisoned Tow∣ers, or Castles, and fenced Cities. He also rebelled against the King of Assyria, who had set him upon the Throne, and would no more homage him; relying upon the Lord for as∣sistance, to keep the Throne of David free from such sla∣very.
