Pulpit Commentary

Verse 3. - And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done (comp. 2 Kings 14:3 and 2 Chronicles 26:4). Josephus uses still stronger expressions. "Azariah was," he says (l.s.c.), "a good king, naturally just and high-minded, and indefatigable in his administration of affairs." According to the author of Chronicles (2 Chronicles 26:5), he "sought God in the days of Zechariah."

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord,.... At the beginning of his reign, and in an external way:

according to all that his father Amaziah had done; who did not do what he did as David, sincerely and cordially, 2 Kings 14:3.
