Commentary on 2 Kings 22:2

Theological / Devotional

That which was right. The young king was of a deeply religious nature, and in spite of the prevailing apostasy, resisted every temptation set before him to walk in his father’s footsteps. As early as the eighth year of his reign he began to seek after the Lord (2 Chron. 34:3).

To the right hand or to the left. A common phrase in the times of Moses and Joshua (Deut. 5:32; 17:11, 20; 28:14; Joshua 1:7 ; 23:6), but seldom used in the later Scriptures.
