Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 27:2

_ _ he did that which was right — The general rectitude of his government is described by representing it as conducted on the excellent principles which had guided the early part of his father’s reign.

_ _ the people did yet corruptly — (See 2 Kings 15:35); but the description here is more emphatic, that though Jotham did much to promote the good of his kingdom and aimed at a thorough reformation in religion, the widespread and inveterate wickedness of the people frustrated all his laudable efforts.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 27:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 27:2

He did — He did according to all that his father Uzziah did; except in his miscarriages. We must not imitate those we have the greatest esteem for, any farther than we do well; but their failings must be warnings to us, to walk more circumspectly.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(a) That is, to offer incense against the word of God, which is spoken of in the commendation of Jotham.
