He did right in the sight of the Lord In many respects, attending on God's altars, and attending to his word: yet not like David his father Or progenitor: not obeying in the same spirit of faith and devotion, and with the same sincerity, resolution, and perseverance. As Joash his father did Who, for a time, served God aright; but afterward fell away to idolatry. Thus did Amaziah, 2 Chronicles 25:14. Howbeit, the high places, &c. Though he did what was right, yet the high places were not taken away For it is difficult to get clear of those corruptions which by long usage have gained prescription.
