And reigned two years over Israel Not complete, as appears from 2 Kings 3:1; but part of two years; for he died before his second year was ended. He walked in the way of his father Followed the wicked example he had set, especially in worshipping Baal. And in the way of his mother Jezebel, who was still living; acting according to her wicked counsel. And in the way of Jeroboam Kept up his idolatry in worshipping the calves. Though he had heard of the ruin of Jeroboam's family, and had seen his own father drawn to his own destruction by the prophets of Baal, who had been often proved to be false prophets, yet he received no instruction, took no warning, but pursued their wicked courses, not in the least amended by all that had befallen them. And provoked the Lord, according to all that his father had done Most unhappy parents, that thus help to damn their own children's souls! We see by all this, how little the example of parents or ancestors is to be valued, where it is opposed to the word and will of God!
