'Ancestor' in the Bible

He practiced what the LORD considered to be right, but not like his ancestor David did. He acted as his father Joash had done,

Meanwhile, Jotham died, as did his ancestors, and was buried with them in the City of David, his ancestor. Then Jotham's son Ahaz reigned in his place.

Ahaz was 20 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for sixteen years. He did not practice what the LORD considered to be right, as had his ancestor David.

He did what the LORD considered to be right, according to everything that his ancestor David had done.

"Return to Hezekiah," he said, "and tell the Commander-in-Chief of my people: "This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: "I've heard your prayer and I've observed your tears. Look! I'm healing you. Three days from now, you'll go visit the LORD's Temple.

He practiced what the LORD considered to be right, living the way his ancestor David had lived, turning neither to the right nor to the left.
