Sirach 49:5 Except David, and Ezechias, and Josias, all committed sin.

Sin. The two former effaced their sins by repentance, and never tolerated idolatry, which even Josaphat and Asa did, (3 Kings 22:43., etc.; Calmet) not destroying the high places. Many others yielded not to idol worship. (Worthington)
