2 Kings 15:4,35• 4Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
 35Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the Lord. (2 Kings 15:4,35)
• This word “Only, the high places were not removed” is like a refrain accompanying the history of the faithful kings of Judah; whereas another refrain, “He departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin,” designates the kings of Israel. These kings ordered their conduct in matters religious according to that of the head of their royal house, who was an idolater. The kings of Judah, instead of governing themselves according to David their father, were generally content to seek their point of departure in the reign of Solomon, who had not abolished the high places. (“Joash, King of Israel?Amaziah, King of Judah: 2 Kings 14:1-22” by H.L. Rossier)
