But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, You shall bow down before one altar and burn incense on it?

And he walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not turn aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of Jehovah. Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

except that the high places were not removed; the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
