Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Howbeit. This word purports to render the Hebrew רַק, which might find a more telling reproduction in such a phrase as "and moreover." It has been said, wherein his father did right, so did he; and to his clear advantage, where his father went wrong, he did riot. The people did yet corruptly. The parallel, in its ver. 35, specifies in what this consisted, viz. that they continued the high places, burning incense and sacrificing at them. The early chapters of Isaiah depict forcibly the extent of this national apostasy, and the heinous offensiveness of it in the Divine sight.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Howbeit he entered not.--The chronicler adds this reservation upon the preceding general statement. The author of Kings, having said nothing of Uzziah's sacrilege, had no need to make such an exception.And the people did yet corruptly.--Still used to deal corruptly; a paraphrase of what we read in 2Kings 15:35, "the people still used to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places." We know further, from the extant utterances of the prophets of those days, that a deep-seated moral corruption was sapping the strength of the nation. (Comp. Micah 3:10-12; Hosea 4:1-2.)
