The verse immediately establishes the standard for Judah's kings: doing right "like David his father." Commentators explain that Ahaz's failure was not just a personal shortcoming but a deliberate rejection of this righteous legacy. Instead of following David's example of seeking God, he chose to imitate the corrupt, idolatrous practices of the kings of Israel.
