‏ 2 Kings 18:4-6

4 ^aHe removed the high places and broke the ^bpillars and cut down ^cthe Asherah. And he broke in pieces ^dthe bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it (it was called Nehushtan). ^{▼▼ Nehushtan sounds like the Hebrew for both bronze and serpent} 5 ^fHe trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, ^gso that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. 6 ^hFor he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses.
