He did what the Lord approved, but not with wholehearted devotion.

When Amaziah returned from defeating the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir and made them his personal gods. He bowed down before them and offered them sacrifices.

Joash did what the Lord approved throughout the lifetime of Jehoiada the priest.

But the Lord said to Samuel, "Don't be impressed by his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. People look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.

He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Amaziah had done.

They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

The sovereign master says, "These people say they are loyal to me; they say wonderful things about me, but they are not really loyal to me. Their worship consists of nothing but man-made ritual.

Their heart is slipping; soon they will be punished for their guilt. The Lord will break their altars; he will completely destroy their fertility pillars.

You have no share or part in this matter because your heart is not right before God!

since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you double-minded.
