15:14 High places - #2Chron 14:3|.He took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high placeswhere they were worshipped: but as for those high places where the trueGod was worshipped he did not take them away; partly, because he thoughtthere was no great evil in them, which had been used by David andSolomon, and other good men; partly, because he thought the removalof them might do more hurt than their continuance, by occasioning thetotal neglect of God's worship by many of the people, who either couldnot, or, through want of faith and zeal, would not go up to Jerusalemto worship, now especially, when the Israelites, formerly their friends,were become their enemies, and watched all opportunities to invade ormolest them. Was perfect - That is, he sincerely and constantly adheredto the worship of God. Though he could not hinder the people from usingthe high places, yet he entirely devoted himself to the worship of Godin the manner and place prescribed by him.
But the high places were not remooued: neuerthelesse, Asa his heart was perfect with the Lord all his dayes.
