1 Kings 22:43 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:43

And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father
Who was a good prince:

he turned not aside from doing that which was right in the eyes of the
Lord;
in his moral conversation, religious worship, and civil government:

nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, for the people
offered and burnt incense yet in the high places;
he took away the high places and groves for idolatrous worship, ( 2 Chronicles 17:6 ) , but not the high places in which sacrifices were offered to the Lord, which ought to have been, especially since the temple was built; and those in the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were altogether inexcusable, being near to the temple, and under no restraint, as those of the ten tribes were; but the people were fond of them, because of their antiquity, and it was difficult for religious princes to remove them, if inclined.

1 Kings 22:43 In-Context

41 Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, became king of Judah in Ahab's fourth year as king of Israel.

42 Jehoshaphat was 35 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 25 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.

43 Jehoshaphat carefully followed the example his father Asa had set and did what the LORD considered right.

44 But the illegal worship sites were not torn down. The people continued to sacrifice and burn incense at these worship sites. Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

45 Isn't everything else about Jehoshaphat--the heroic acts he did and [the wars] he fought--written in the official records of the kings of Judah?
