John Gill's Exposition of the Whole Bible
Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin,.... He closely adhered to the worship of the calves set up by him:
he departed not therefrom: that being a piece of state policy, to keep up the division of the two kingdoms.
