3He walked in all the sins of his father that he had committed before him, and his heart was not wholly devoted to Yahweh his God, like the heart of David his father.

5because David had done what was right in the eyes of Yahweh and had not turned aside from anything that he had commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
