Nevertheless, the people did sacrifice still in the high
places
Not in those that were built for idols, at least did not sacrifice to them; for it follows:

``to the name of the Word of the Lord their God.''

2 Chronicles 33:17 In-Context

15 Manasseh removed the idols of other nations, including the idol in the Temple of the Lord. He removed all the altars he had built on the Temple hill and in Jerusalem and threw them out of the city.

16 Then he set up the Lord's altar and sacrificed on it fellowship offerings and offerings to show thanks to God. Manasseh commanded all the people of Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.

17 The people continued to offer sacrifices at the places of worship, but their sacrifices were only to the Lord their God.

18 The other things Manasseh did as king, his prayer to his God, and what the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel -- all are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.

19 Manasseh's prayer and God's pity for him, his sins, his unfaithfulness, the places he built for worshiping gods and the Asherah idols before he humbled himself -- all are written in the book of the seers.
