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.

And he did {H6213} that which was right {H3477} in the sight {H5869} of the LORD {H3068}, yet {H7535} not like David {H1732} his father {H1}: he did {H6213} according to all things as Joash {H3101} his father {H1} did {H6213}.

He did what was right from ADONAI's perspective, although not like David his ancestor; he lived the same way as his father Yo'ash.

And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
