Exegesis
The scope is framed by the inclusio bə-kōl malḵê yəḥûḏāh {בְּכֹל֙ מַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה | bə-kōl mal-ḵê yə-ḥû-dāh} ‘among all the kings of Judah’ and wa-ʼăšer hāyû lə-pānāw {וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָי֖וּ לְפָנָֽיו | wa-ʼă-šer hā-yû lə-pā-nāw} ‘and who were before him’. This chiastic framing from “after him” to “before him” underscores the uniqueness of the reign.
In context — 2 Kings 18:5
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel , and after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him.
