Who is this?

King of who rules forty-one years and removes the male shrine prostitutes and the idols his fathers had made, even deposing his grandmother for making an image. He defeats an enormous army under Zerah by calling on the LORD, but later in his reign, when Baasha of Israel threatens him, he strips of silver and gold to hire the Aramean king against him. Rebuked by the seer Hanani, he imprisons the prophet and dies of a diseased foot.
