Gill's Notes on the Bible

He trusted in the Lord God of Israel,.... To be his protector and defender, and had no dependence on idols as an arm of flesh; the Targum is, he trusted in the Word of the Lord God; not in Nehushtan, but in him the brasen serpent was a type of, even in the Word and Son of God, his alone Saviour and Redeemer:

so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah: for though Josiah was like him in some things, yet not in all:

nor any that were before him; from the times of the division of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah; and Ben Gersom and Abarbinel think that David and Solomon are not to be excepted; David sinning in the case of Uriah, and Solomon falling into idolatry, crimes that Hezekiah was not guilty of.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

After him was none like him - The same is said of Josiah (marginal reference). The phrase was probably proverbial, and was not taken to mean more than we mean when we say that such and such a king was one of singular piety.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 18:5. He trusted in the Lord — See the character of this good king:

1. He trusted in the Lord God of Israel;

2. He clave to the Lord;

3. He was steady in his religion; he departed not from following the Lord;

4. He kept God's commandments. And what were the consequences?

1. The Lord was with him;

2. He prospered whithersoever he went.
