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.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 18 of 2 Kings. Hezekiah begins to reign and distinguishes himself from his predecessors through a profound reform. He removes the high places, destroys the sacred pillars, and cuts down the bronze serpent because the people had begun worshiping it. The text highlights his trust in the Lord and his faithfulness to the commandments. Even Nehushtan, an object that had played a role in Israel’s history, must be destroyed when it becomes an object of idolatry. Hezekiah also resists the king of Assyria and recovers territory. Religious reform and political resistance are presented as connected to his trust in God.

Er vertraute dem HERRN, dem Gott Israels, daß nach ihm seinesgleichen nicht war unter allen Königen Juda's noch vor ihm gewesen.
En Jehová Dios de Israel puso su esperanza: después ni antes de él no hubo otro como él en todos los reyes de Judá.
Confió en Jehová, Dios de Israel. No hubo otro como él entre todos los reyes de Judá, ni después ni antes de él.
Il mit sa confiance en l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël; et parmi tous les rois de Juda qui vinrent après lui ou qui le précédèrent, il n'y en eut point de semblable à lui.
Egli mise la sua confidenza nel Signore Iddio d’Israele; e giammai, nè davanti nè dopo lui, non vi è stato alcuno pari a lui, fra tutti i re di Giuda.
No SENHOR Deus de Israel confiou, de maneira que depois dele não houve quem lhe fosse semelhante entre todos os reis de Judá, nem entre os que foram antes dele.
