THE MESSAGE
In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz began his rule over Judah. He was twenty-five years old when he became king and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. In God 's opinion he was a good king; he kept to the standards of his ancestor David. He got rid of the local fertility shrines, smashed the phallic stone monuments, and cut down the sex-and-religion Asherah groves. As a final stroke he pulverized the ancient bronze serpent that Moses had made; at that time the Israelites had taken up the practice of sacrificing to it—they had even dignified it with a name, Nehushtan (The Old Serpent).

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel,.... That is, in the third year of his rebelling against the king of Assyria, when he shook off his yoke, and refused to be tributary to him any longer, see 2 Kings 17:1,
[that] Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign; having finished the account of the kingdom of Israel, and the captivity of the people, the historian returns to the kingdom of Judah, and the things of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the third year - If Hoshea ascended the throne toward the close of the 12th year of Ahaz 2 Kings 17:1, and if Ahaz reigned not much more than 15 years 2 Kings 16:2, the first of Hezekiah might synchronise in part with Hosheaâs third year.
Hezekiah - The name given by our translators follows the Greek form, ÎÌζεκιÌÎ±Ï Ezekias, rather than the Hebrew, which is Hizkiah. Its meaning is âstrength of Yahweh.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVIII
Hezekiah begins to reign; he removes the high places, breaks to
pieces the brazen serpent, and walks uprightly before God, 1-6.
He endeavours to shake off the Assyrian yoke, and defeats the
Philistines, 7, 8.
Shalmaneser comes up against Samaria, takes it, and carries the
people away into captivity, 9-12.
And then comes against Judah, and takes all the fenced cities,
13.
Hezekiah sends a message to him at Lachish to desist, with the
promise that he will pay him any tribute he chooses to impose;
in consequence of which Shalmaneser exacts three hundred
talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold; to pay which
Hezekiah is obliged to take all his own treasures, and those
belonging to the temple, 14-16.
The king of Assyria sends, notwithstanding, a great host against
Jerusalem; and his general, Rab-shakeh, delivers an insulting
and blasphemous message to Hezekiah, 17-35.
Hezekiah and his people are greatly afflicted at the words of
Rab-shakeh, 36, 37.
