1 Kings 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:14

But the high places were not removed
That is, such as had been used for the worship of God, before the temple was built, which yet now should have been removed, since sacrifice was now only to be offered there; but he might think they were still lawful, or the people had such an opinion of them, that it was difficult and dangerous to attempt to remove them; otherwise high places for idolatry were removed by him, ( 2 Chronicles 14:3 ) ,

nevertheless, Asa's heart was perfect all his days;
he was sincere in the worship of God, and did everything to the best of his knowledge and capacity for restoring true religion, and destroying idolatry.

1 Kings 15:14 In-Context

12 and he took away from the land men of women's conditions, and he purged all the filths of idols, which his fathers (had) made.

13 Furthermore and he removed Maachah, his (grand)mother, that she should not be princess in the solemn things of the idol Priapus, and in his maumet wood that she had hallowed; and he destroyed the den of him, and he brake the foulest simulacrum, and burnt it in the strand of Kidron; (And furthermore he removed Maachah, his grandmother, so that she would no longer be the queen mother, for she had erected an idol of Priapus in a grove, and worshipped it/for she had made an obscene idol for the worship of Asherah; and he broke up, and destroyed, that most foul idol, and burned it by the Kidron Stream/and burned it in the Kidron Gorge;)

14 soothly he did not (do) away the high things (but he did not do away the hill shrines); nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with his Lord God, in all his days.

15 And he brought into the house of the Lord those things, which his father had hallowed, and avowed, (the) silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 Forsooth battle was betwixt Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, in all the days of them.
