2 Re 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:34

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord
Jarchi, in ( 2 Chronicles 27:2 ) , observes, from a writer of theirs, that in all the kings of Judah before him, even in the best, some sins were found; but in Jotham there was nothing scandalous and reproachful; and it is a high character Josephus ^F9 gives of him, that there was no virtue wanting in him; he was pious towards God, just towards men, and careful of the public good; but the inspired historian chiefly respects matters of religious worship; he did not give into idolatry:

he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done;
that is, according to what was well done by him; he did not imitate him in going into the temple to burn incense, which is particularly excepted. ( 2 Chronicles 27:2 ) .

2 Re 15:34 In-Context

32 L’anno secondo del regno di Pekah, figliuolo di Remalia, re d’Israele, cominciò a regnare Jotham, figliuolo di Uzzia, re di Giuda.

33 Aveva venticinque anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò sedici anni a Gerusalemme. Sua madre si chiamava Jerusha, figliuola di Tsadok.

34 Egli fece ciò ch’è giusto agli occhi dell’Eterno, interamente come avea fatto Uzzia suo padre.

35 Nondimeno, gli alti luoghi non furono soppressi; il popolo continuava ad offrir sacrifizi e profumi sugli alti luoghi. Jotham costruì la porta superiore della casa dell’Eterno.

36 Il rimanente delle azioni di Jotham, tutto quello che fece, si trova scritto nel libro delle Cronache dei re di Giuda.
