Exegesis
The comparative clause kəḵōl ʾăšer ʿāśāh ʿûziyāhû ʾāvîyw ʿāśāh {כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה עֻזִיָּ֥הוּ אָבִ֖יו עָשָֽׂה | kəḵōl ʾăšer ʿāśāh ʿûziyāhû ʾāvîyw ʿāśāh} ‘according to all that Uzziah his father did’ underscores dynastic continuity in moral conduct.
In translation, the verb-first Hebrew order is rendered in subject-verb order to align with English idiom while preserving the repeated action emphasis of ʿāśāh {עָשָׂה | ʿāśāh} ‘he did’.
