1 Kings 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:34

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord
As Nadab did, whom he slew:

and walked in the way of Jeroboam;
whose family he destroyed:

and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin;
in worshipping the golden calves; so that it was not out of dislike to idolatry, but out of malice and ambition, that he slew the family of Jeroboam.
