Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 12:2

_ _ Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord — so far as related to his outward actions and the policy of his government. But it is evident from the sequel of his history that the rectitude of his administration was owing more to the salutary influence of his preserver and tutor, Jehoiada, than to the honest and sincere dictates of his own mind.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Kings 12:1-3.
