² He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

³² Take care, then, to do whatever the Lord your God has given you orders to do; let there be no turning away to the right hand or to the left.

⁷ Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.

¹⁴ Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same:

¹⁵ Who has not taken the flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel, and has not had connection with his neighbour's wife,

¹⁶ Or done wrong to any, or taken anything from one in his debt, or taken goods by force, but has given food to him who was in need of it, and clothing to him who was without it;

¹⁷ Who has kept his hand from evil-doing and has not taken interest or great profits, who has done my orders and been guided by my rules: he will certainly not be put to death for the evil-doing of his father; life will certainly be his.

¹¹ Even a child may be judged by his doings, if his work is free from sin and if it is right.

²⁷ Let there be no turning to the right or to the left, keep your feet from evil.

² He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done.

³ And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,

³ He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as David his father had done.

² Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king; he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God, as David his father did.

⁵ Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.

³⁸ And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

⁶ And Solomon said, Great was your mercy to David my father, as his life before you was true and upright and his heart was true to you; and you have kept for him this greatest mercy, a son to take his place this day.
