Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - For he clave to the Lord - rather, and he clave to the Lord; i.e. he persevered through the whole of his life; he did not fall into sins at the last, like Asa and Azariah (see 2 Chronicles 16:7-12; 2 Chronicles 26.' 16-21) - and departed not from following him. The writer probably considers "the princes of Judah" answerable for the embassy to Egypt mentioned in Isaiah 30:4, and excuses Hezekiah's ostentatious display of his treasures to the ambassadors of Merodach-Baladan (2 Kings 20:13) as a weakness, not an actual breach of obedience. But kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) For he clave.--And he held fast. Hezekiah's pious feeling.But kept.--And he kept. Hezekiah's practice. The context shows that the "commandments" specially in the writer's mind were those against polytheism.
