The kings whom Jehovah considered faithful adhered to true worship. And they encouraged their subjects to do the same. Of course, they had their shortcomings, as we have seen. They were exclusively devoted to Jehovah even fought vigorously to cleanse the land of idolatry.
What about the kings whom Jehovah judged as unfaithful? Certainly not everything they did was bad. Even wicked king Ahab showed a measure of humility and regret for his part in Naboth's murder. (1 Kings 21:27-29) He also built cities and won victories for Israel. (1 Kings 20:21, 29; 22:39) But Ahab was notorious for promoting false worship under the influence of his wife. For this, he never repented. - 1 KINGS 21:25, 26.
