2 Reis 15:34

34 E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor; fez conforme tudo quanto fizera seu pai Uzias.

2 Reis 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 Reis 15:34 In-Context

32 No segundo ano de Peca, filho de Remalias, rei de Israel, começou a reinar Jotão, filho de Uzias, rei de Judá.

33 Tinha vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou dezesseis anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Jenisa, filha de Zadoque.

34 E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor; fez conforme tudo quanto fizera seu pai Uzias.

35 Contudo os altos não foram tirados; o povo ainda sacrificava e queimava incenso neles. Pois ele que edificou a porta alta da casa do Senhor.

36 Ora, o restante dos atos de Jotão, e tudo quanto fez, porventura não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá?
