2 Kings 18:4

King James Version

He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
New King James Version

He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden images (a Canaanite goddess) and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan (literally, a bronze thing).
New American Standard Bible

He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah (i.e., wooden symbol of a female deity). He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan (i.e., a piece of bronze).
New International Version

He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called (or, he called it) Nehushtan. (Nehushtan sounds like the Hebrew for bronze and snake and unclean thing.))
The Amplified Bible

He removed the high places, broke the images, cut down the Asherim, and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until then the Israelites had burned incense to it; but he called it Nehushtan [a bronze trifle].
