2 Kings 14:3

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.

Cross-reference

2 Kings 12:2 describes Joash doing right while Jehoiada instructed him—the standard Amaziah followed, though later Joash faltered.

2 Kings 15:3 says Azariah 'did what was right' as his father Amaziah had done — a direct continuation of the same righteousness.

2 Kings 16:2 says Ahaz 'did not do what was right' — opposite of Amaziah's positive assessment, highlighting the contrast.

1 Kings 11:4 shows Solomon too fell short of David's wholehearted devotion—the same benchmark Amaziah failed to reach.

1 Kings 15:3 similarly evaluates Abijam as not fully devoted like David—the same standard used for Amaziah.

2 Chronicles 24:2 Historical context

2 Chronicles 24:2 confirms Joash's righteous reign while Jehoiada lived—the model Amaziah followed initially.

2 Chronicles 25:2 expands on Amaziah's reign, noting his obedience was not wholehearted—clarifying the 'not like David' in the main verse.

In 1 Kings 22:43, Jehoshaphat also 'did what was right' by following his father Asa — directly parallels Amaziah's evaluation.

2 Chronicles 17:3 praises Jehoshaphat for walking in David's ways, similar to Amaziah's comparison with David — both follow righteous forefathers.
