2 Chronicles 27:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 27:2

And he did that which was right
(See Gill on 2 Kings 15:34),

howbeit, he entered not into the temple of the Lord;
to burn incense, as his father did; he did according to his good ways, but not his evil ones:

and the people did yet corruptly;
in sacrificing and burning incense in the high places, ( 2 Kings 15:35 ) which some think Joash himself did, and is meant in the preceding clause; but the sense given is best.

2 Chronicles 27:2 In-Context

1 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly.

3 He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

5 He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.
