          •  •  •

          •  •  •

          •  •  •
      52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
      53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
55. 2 Kgs. 3: 2
      2 And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.

59. 2 Kgs. 14: 3, 5, 21

62. 2 Kgs. 18: 3
      3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did.
63. 2 Kgs. 21: 3, 20-21
      3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
          •  •  •
      20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
      21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
64. 2 Kgs. 22: 2
      2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
