Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him,.... Having such bad examples as both parents to copy after; it chiefly respects idolatrous practices, see 1 Kings 14:23,
and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God; he did profess the true God, and worshipped him, but not wholly, and only, and sincerely; he worshipped other gods besides him: and so his heart was not
as the heart of David his father; who was a sole and sincere worshipper of God, never departed from him and his service.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He walked in all the sins of his father - Yet Abijam prepared precious offerings for the temple service 1 Kings 15:15, probably to replace vessels which Shishak had carried off, and in his war with Jeroboam professed himself a faithful servant of Yahweh 2 Chronicles 13:10-12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 15:3. His heart was not perfect — He was an idolater, or did not support the worship of the true God. This appears to be the general meaning of the heart not being perfect with God.
