2 Kings23:32

32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

i. e. His grand Parents, Manasseh, and Amon. He restored that Idolatry which his Father had destroyed; partly, to gratifie the generality of the people, who had made him King, and who were inclined to their old Superstitions, even in Iosiah's time, as was observed before, though restrained from the outward acts, by fear: and partly, to sweeten the King of Egypt, who possibly was a Zealous Idolater, by his compliance with him in the Worship of Idols.
