2 Kings 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 ) .
