2 Crônicas 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 17:6

And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord
It was engaged in them, was bent and set upon them; he walked in them with great pleasure and cheerfulness, being inspired with zeal and courage; he was fearless and intrepid, and regarded not any opposition he might have, or expect to have, in the work of reformation in which he was concerned:

moreover, he took away the high places;
such as were dedicated to idols, but not those in which the true God was worshipped, ( 2 Chronicles 20:33 )

and groves out of Judah;
where idols were placed; for though these had been removed by Asa, yet had been renewed in the latter part of his days, when more negligent of religion.

2 Crônicas 17:6 In-Context

4 antes buscou ao Deus de seu pai, e andou nos seus mandamentos, e não segundo as obras de Israel.

5 Por isso o Senhor confirmou o reino na sua mão; e todo o Judá trouxe presentes a Jeosafá; e ele teve riquezas e glória em abundância.

6 E encorajou-se o seu coração nos caminhos do Senhor; e ele tirou de Judá os altos e os aserins.

7 No terceiro ano do seu reinado enviou ele os seus príncipes, Bene-Hail, Obadias, Zacarias, Netanel e Micaías, para ensinarem nas cidades de Judá;

8 e com eles os levitas Semaías, Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramote, Jônatas, Adonias, Tobias e Tobadonias e, com estes levitas, os sacerdotes Elisama e Jeorão.
