SCRIPTURE

"And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done." — 2 Kings 23:32 (ASV)

And he did that which was evil ... —Compare Ezekiel’s lamentation for the princes of Judah, where Jehoahaz is called a young lion that devoureth men, alluding to his oppressive rapacity and shameless abuse of power (Ezekiel 19:1–4).
