The Danger of Second-Hand Faith
Matthew Henry observes that this rapid turn to idolatry happened immediately after the death of the godly priest Jehoiada.

A religion that depends solely on the influence of a good leader, pastor, or parent is fragile and likely to collapse when that external support is removed.
