Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he did that which was right,....
:-,
howbeit, he entered not into the temple of the Lord; to burn incense, as his father did; he did according to his good ways, but not his evil ones:
and the people did yet corruptly; in sacrificing and burning incense in the high places, 2 Kings 15:35 which some think Joash himself did, and is meant in the preceding clause; but the sense given is best.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 27:2. He entered not into the temple — He copied his father's conduct as far as it was constitutional; and avoided his transgression. See the preceding chapter. (2 Chronicles 26:0)
