2 Kings 14:3
3 Amaziah did what was pleasing in the Lord 's sight, but not like his ancestor David. Instead, he followed the example of his father, Joash.

Commentary on 2 Kings 14:1-7
(Read 2 Kings 14:1-7)
Amaziah began well, but did not go on so. It is not enough to do that which our pious predecessors did, merely to keep up the common usage, but we must do it as they did, from the same principle of faith and devotion, and with the same sincerity and resolution.
