Hezekiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. he destroyed the Asherah poles and bronze snake Moses had made.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.[b])
