Chronicles II 19:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 19:3

Nevertheless, there are good things found in thee
Principles of grace, righteousness, and holiness, faith, love, zeal, and other graces, true and genuine, from whence sprung many good works done by him:

in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land;
cut down the groves of trees, and destroyed the idols and images in them:

and hast prepared thine heart to seek God;
through the grace of God his heart was disposed to serve and worship the Lord, and to seek his honour and glory.
