2 Reyes 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 Reyes 12:3 In-Context

1 En el séptimo año de Jehú, Joás comenzó a reinar, y reinó cuarenta años en Jerusalén; y el nombre de su madre era Sibia de Beerseba.
2 Y Joás hizo lo recto ante los ojos del SEÑOR todos los días en que el sacerdote Joiada lo dirigió.
3 Sólo que los lugares altos no fueron quitados; el pueblo aún sacrificaba y quemaba incienso en los lugares altos.
4 Entonces Joás dijo a los sacerdotes: Todo el dinero de las cosas sagradas que se trae a la casa del SEÑOR en moneda corriente, tanto el dinero estipulado a cada persona, como todo el dinero que cada uno voluntariamente traiga a la casa del SEÑOR,
5 que los sacerdotes lo tomen para sí, cada cual de sus conocidos; y ellos repararán los daños de la casa dondequiera que se encuentre algún daño.
