Commentary

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord,..... At least ex ternally, and at the beginning of his reign: yet not like David his father; not with a perfect heart, with that sincerity and uprightness as he did, see Ch2 25:2 , he did according to all things as Joash his father did; who at first reigned well, and then fell into idolatry, as this his son did.
