Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

He declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left - He never swerved from God and truth; he never omitted what he knew to be his duty to God and his kingdom; he carried on his reformation with a steady hand; timidity did not prevent him from going far enough; and zeal did not lead him beyond due bounds. He walked in the golden mean, and his moderation was known unto all men. He went neither to the right nor to the left, he looked inward, looked forward, and looked upward. Reader, let the conduct of this pious youth be thy exemplar through life.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of (a) David his father, and declined [neither] to the right hand, nor to the left.
