And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 23 of 2 Kings. Jehoahaz reigns briefly and is taken to Egypt by Pharaoh Neco. Jehoiakim is then placed on the throne and becomes subject to Egyptian tribute. Both kings receive negative evaluations. The contrast with Josiah is immediate: after the reformer’s death, Judah quickly enters a period of international dependence and spiritual decline. The succession demonstrates the fragility of a reform when it fails to permanently transform the orientation of the entire society. Foreign policy also changes rapidly, preparing the future confrontation between Egypt and Babylon.

Und er tat, was dem HERRN übel gefiel, wie seine Väter getan hatten.

Hizo lo malo a los ojos de Jehová, conforme a todo lo que habían hecho sus padres.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, entièrement comme avaient fait ses pères.
Ed egli fece ciò che dispiace al Signore, interamente come aveano fatto i suoi padri.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme tudo o que fizeram seus pais.
約哈斯 行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,效法他祖先一切所行的。
