He [maketh] a fruitfull grounde barren: for the wickednes of them that dwell therein.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord,..... At least externally, and at the beginning of his reign:
yet not like David his father; not with a perfect heart, with that sincerity and uprightness as he did, see 2 Chronicles 25:2,
he did according to all things as Joash his father did; who at first reigned well, and then fell into idolatry, as this his son did.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He did ... as Joash - There is a curious parity between the lives of Joash and Amaziah. Both were zealous for Yahweh in the earlier portion of their reigns, but in the latter part fell away; both disregarded the rebukes of prophets; and both, having forsaken God, were in the end conspired against and slain (compare 2 Chronicles 24:25; 2 Chronicles 25:27).
