For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following him but kept the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses — Hezekiah's faithfulness consists of 'holding fast to the LORD' and not departing from following him. The phrase 'held fast' invokes the language of covenant loyalty, also used in Genesis 2:24 for marital covenant. His adherence to 'the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses' grounds his faithfulness in Torah obligation. This verse emphasizes the totality of Hezekiah's covenant commitment: holding fast, not departing, keeping commandments.
