Contextual Overview
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, began Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah to reign. 2 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, - and, his mother's name, was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like David his father: according to all that Joash his father did, so he did; 4 only, the high places, took they not away, - still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places. 5 And it came to pass that, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, he smote his servants who smote the king his father; 6 but, the sons of them that smote him, slew he not, - as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying - Fathers, shall not be put to death, for sons, nor shall, sons, be put to death, for fathers, but every man, for his own sin, shall be put to death. 7 He, smote Edom, in the valley of salt, ten thousand, and seized Sela, in the war, - and called the name thereof Joktheel, as it is until this day.

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).
