Of course this can only refer to the general resemblance not to the various parts of Amaziah’s conduct. The next verse, which is almost word for word the same as is said in 2Ki 12:3<\/span> concerning Joash, shews how Amaziah walked in his father’s footsteps.<\/p>\n He did … as Joash – <\/B>There is a curious parity between the lives of Joash and Amaziah. Both were zealous for Yahweh in the earlier portion of their reigns, but in the latter part fell away; both disregarded the rebukes of prophets; and both, having forsaken God, were in the end conspired against and slain (compare 2Ch 24:25<\/span>; 2Ch 25:27<\/span>).<\/P> <\/p>\n Right in the sight of the Lord; <\/B>that which was in some sort agreeable to Gods will. <\/P> Not like David his father; <\/B>not sincerely, 2Ch 25:2<\/span>. <\/P> He did according to all things as Joash his father did, <\/B>i.e. for a time served God aright, but afterwards fell to idolatry, 2Ch 25:14<\/span>, as Joash had done, 2Ki 12:3<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n 3-6. He did that which was right inthe sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father<\/B>Thebeginning of his reign was excellent, for he acted the part of aconstitutional king, according to the law of God, yet not withperfect sincerity of heart (compare 2Ch25:2<\/span>). As in the case of his father Joash, the early promise wasbelied by the devious course he personally followed in later life(see 2Ch 20:14<\/span>), as well as bythe public irregularities he tolerated in the kingdom.<\/P><\/p>\n And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord<\/strong>,….. At least externally, and at the beginning of his reign:<\/p>\n yet not like David his father<\/strong>; not with a perfect heart, with that sincerity and uprightness as he did, see 2Ch 25:2<\/span>,<\/p>\n he did according to all things as Joash his father did<\/strong>; who at first reigned well, and then fell into idolatry, as this his son did.<\/p>\n (3) Yet not like David his father.<\/strong>The chronicler paraphrases this reference to the ideal king of Israel: yet not with a perfect heart.<\/em><\/p>\n 3<\/strong>. <\/strong> He did according to all things as Joash <\/strong> That is, says Wordsworth, “he began well, and ended ill.” He had the true theocratic spirit, but not a perfect heart. Not only did he fail to remove the high places, but, according to 2Ch 25:14<\/span>, he worshipped and burned incense to the gods of Edom.<\/p>\n 2Ki 14:3 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.<\/p>\n Ver. 3.

He did right in the sight of the Lord In many respects, attending on Gods altars, and attending to his word: yet not like David his father Or progenitor: not obeying in the same spirit of faith and devotion, and with the same sincerity, resolution, and perseverance. As Joash his father did Who, for a time, served God aright; but afterward fell away to idolatry. Thus did Amaziah, 2Ch 25:14. Howbeit, the high places, &c. Though he did what was right, yet the high places were not taken away For it is difficult to get clear of those corruptions which by long usage have gained prescription.<\/p>\n 14:3 And he did [that which was] {a} right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.<\/p>\n (a) In the beginning of his reign he seemed to have an outward show of godliness, but later he became an idolater and worshipped the idols of the Idumeans.<\/p>\n And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did. 3. yet not like David his father ] The Chronicler merely gives ‘but not with a perfect heart’, making no mention of Amaziah’s resemblance to … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 14:3”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9911\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
