And he did evil in the sight of the LORD
This phrase indicates a moral and spiritual evaluation from God's perspective, emphasizing divine judgment rather than human opinion. The "sight of the LORD" suggests that God's omniscience perceives all actions and intentions. The repeated pattern of kings doing evil highlights the persistent disobedience and idolatry that plagued Israel. This phrase is a common refrain in the books of Kings, underscoring the failure of Israel's leaders to uphold the covenant with God.

as his fathers had done
This phrase connects the actions of the current king to a generational pattern of sin, suggesting a failure to learn from the past. It reflects the influence of familial and cultural legacies in shaping behavior. The reference to "fathers" indicates a historical continuity of disobedience, which often led to divine judgment. This pattern of sin is reminiscent of the cycles of apostasy seen throughout the history of Israel, as recorded in the books of Judges and Kings.

He did not turn away from the sins
The phrase "did not turn away" implies a stubbornness or unwillingness to repent and change course. Repentance is a central theme in the prophetic literature, where prophets call Israel to return to God. The lack of repentance here highlights the king's failure to heed prophetic warnings and the law of Moses, which called for exclusive worship of Yahweh. This phrase underscores the importance of repentance in maintaining a right relationship with God.

that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit
Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel, established a precedent of idolatry by setting up golden calves at Bethel and Dan (1 Kings 12:28-30). This act was a direct violation of the first and second commandments and led Israel into sin. The phrase "caused Israel to commit" indicates the king's role in leading the nation astray, highlighting the responsibility of leaders to guide their people in righteousness. Jeroboam's actions had long-lasting consequences, as subsequent kings followed his idolatrous practices, leading to the eventual downfall of the northern kingdom. This phrase serves as a reminder of the destructive power of sin and the importance of godly leadership.

What Does 2 Kings 15:9 Mean
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD

• Scripture measures right and wrong by what the LORD sees and declares (Judges 3:7;Proverbs 15:3).

• Evil here is not a mere social failure; it is moral rebellion against the covenant God who had clearly revealed His standard in His Law (Deuteronomy 5:7–21).

• The LORD’s “sight” reminds us that no king, nation, or individual can hide behind title or tradition—His gaze penetrates palaces and pews alike (Psalm 33:13-15).

• In practical terms, the reign of King Zechariah (the “he” in2 Kings 15:9) continued the idolatrous worship at the shrines in Bethel and Dan, opposing the exclusive worship called for inDeuteronomy 12:5-7.

as his fathers had done

• Zechariah followed the same path as preceding northern kings such as Jehoash and Jeroboam II (2 Kings 13:11; 14:24), normalizing compromise instead of repentance.

• This pattern underscores how leadership choices ripple through generations; what one ruler permits, the next often repeats (Exodus 34:7;1 Kings 15:26).

• The phrase cautions believers today: inherited habits—national, familial, or personal—are not excuses to disobey God’s revealed will (Ezekiel 18:19-20).

• God’s standard never changes, even when sinful patterns become culturally embedded (Malachi 3:6).

He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit

• Jeroboam I established rival altars with golden calves, declaring, “Here are your gods, O Israel” (1 Kings 12:28-33). That counterfeit worship became the default religion of the northern kingdom.

• Zechariah’s failure was two-fold:

– He personally stayed loyal to idolatry.

– He kept the nation locked in the same sin, showing how a leader’s refusal to repent prolongs corporate guilt (2 Kings 10:29; 17:21-23).

• “Did not turn away” signals deliberate persistence: the king heard prophetic warnings yet chose the broad road of convenience over the narrow road of obedience (2 Kings 14:25;Amos 7:10-13).

• The verse illustratesJames 4:17—“If anyone, then, knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin” (cf.Luke 12:47-48).

summary

2 Kings 15:9 records that King Zechariah continued the entrenched idolatry begun by Jeroboam I, repeating the evil of his predecessors and confirming that God’s evaluation of a life or reign is based on faithfulness to His revealed word. The verse warns against generational complacency, calls leaders and followers alike to wholehearted repentance, and affirms that the LORD’s unchanging gaze remains the final measure of righteousness.

(9)As his fathers--i.e., the dynasty of Jehu, of which he was the last member. Like all his predecessors, he upheld the illicit worship established by Jeroboam I.

Verse 9. -And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. The customary formula, with nothing to emphasize it. In the short space of barely six months, Zachariah could not do either much good or much evil.
