Exegesis
The comparative formula kəkōl ʾăšer ʿāsāh {כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה | kə-kōl ʾă-šer ʿā-sāh} ‘according to all that he did’, with reference to Dāvid ʾāviv {דָּוִ֥יד אָבִֽיו | Dā-wîd ʾā-vîv} ‘David his father’, uses a relative clause to link Hezekiah’s faithfulness to his ancestor’s example. The Hebrew syntactic parallelism is preserved in English by maintaining the evaluative and comparative structure.
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–bet
“father, ancestor”
In context — 2 Chronicles 29:2
