Kings II 21:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 21:21

And he walked in all the ways that his father walked in
In his wicked way, his idolatry, witchcraft, and murders;

and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them;
Baal, Ashtoreth, and all the host of heaven, and all the carved images his father made, which it seems he only removed, but did not break in pieces, ( 2 Chronicles 33:22 ) .

19 And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite slew Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear as a weaver's beam.

20 And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.

21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, smote him.

22 These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
