Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the (l) sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
(l) Because this idolatry was so vile and almost incredible, that men should forsake the living God, to worship calves, the work of man's hands, therefore the Scripture often repeats it in the reproach of all idolaters.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,.... Was guilty of idolatry:
he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; the worship of the calves is especially meant; he was in all respects of the same cast with his ancestor of the same name, from whom he had it, in veneration of him.
