2 Reis 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 12:3

But the high places were not taken away
Used before the temple was built, or set up in Rehoboam's time, ( 1 Kings 14:23 ) contrary to the law of God, which required that sacrifices should only be offered in the place the Lord chose to dwell in, ( Deuteronomy 12:4 Deuteronomy 12:6 ) the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places; as they had done in the times of Athaliah, and though the pure worship of God was restored at Jerusalem; and indeed this they did in all preceding reigns; nor was it in the power of the best of kings, at least they did not think it safe to attempt to remove them till Hezekiah's time; so fond were the people of them because of their antiquity and supposed sanctity, and for the sake of ease.

2 Reis 12:3 In-Context

1 Foi no ano sétimo de Jeú que Joás começou a reinar, e reinou quarenta anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Zíbia, de Berseba.
2 E Joás fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor todos os dias em que o sacerdote Jeoiada o instruiu.
3 Contudo os altos não foram tirados; o povo ainda sacrificava e queimava incenso neles.
4 Disse Joás aos sacerdotes: Todo o dinheiro das coisas consagradas que se trouxer � casa do Senhor, o dinheiro daquele que passa o arrolamento, o dinheiro de cada uma das pessoas, segundo a sua avaliação, e todo o dinheiro que cada um trouxer voluntariamente para a casa do Senhor,
5 recebam-no os sacerdotes, cada um dos seus conhecidos, e reparem os estragos da casa, todo estrago que se achar nela.
