Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 27:2

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entred not into the temple of the LORD . And the people did yet corruptly.

To wit, to offer Incense. But seeing this was commendable, how is this mentioned as an exception from the foregoing Character, that he did as his Father did in that which was right? &c. Answ. It is an exception onely from the last clause, where also one word may be supplied out of the foregoing words, as is most usual in Scripture, thus, He did according to all that his father Uzziah did; then it fitly follows, howbeit, &c. i. e. except in his miscarriages.
