15:3 He followed all the sinful practices of his father before him. He was not wholeheartedly devoted to the Lord his God, as his ancestor David had been. ¹⁹

1 Raja-raja 22:22

22:22 He replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ The Lord ³⁴  said, ‘Deceive and overpower him. ³⁵  Go out and do as you have proposed.’

1 Raja-raja 22:52

22:52 He did evil in the sight of ³⁶  the Lord and followed in the footsteps ³⁷  of his father and mother; like Jeroboam son of Nebat, he encouraged Israel to sin. ³⁸
