2 Cr. 14:3‑5• 3Porque quitó los altares del culto ajeno, y los altos; quebró las imágenes, y taló los bosques;
4Y mandó á Judá que buscasen á Jehová el Dios de sus padres, y pusiesen por obra la ley y sus mandamientos.
5Quitó asimismo de todas las ciudades de Judá los altos y las imágenes, y estuvo el reino quieto delante de él.
(2 Cr. 14:3‑5)

Dt. 12:13‑14• 13Guárdate, que no ofrezcas tus holocaustos en cualquier lugar que vieres;

the heart of Asa.
 He failed in one detail which seemed insignificant. The Word tells us (2 Chron. 14:5) that "he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places," but we learn in 2 Chron. 15:17 that they "were not removed from Israel," that is to say, I would believe, from the cities of Israel which he had conquered (2 Chron. 15:8). This seemed to be of little importance, for he had removed all the abominations from these same cities. But when it is a matter of separation from evil, nothing is unimportant. (Asa - Strength and Purification: 2 Chronicles 15 by H.L. Rossier)
