Ver. 52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord
Which evil was idolatry:

and walked in the way of his father;
his father Ahab, who worshipped Baal:

and in the way of his mother;
his mother Jezebel, who was still living, and served Baal and Astarte, the deities of her country:

and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat;
who set up and worshipped the golden calves:

who made Israel to sin;
by the worship of the same, into which he drew them by his example and authority.
