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 año séptimo del reinado de Jehú, Joás comenzó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalén cuarenta años. Su madre era Sibia, oriunda de Berseba.
2 Joás hizo durante toda su vida lo que agrada al SEÑOR, pues siguió las enseñanzas del sacerdote Joyadá.
3 Sin embargo, no se quitaron los altares paganos, sino que el pueblo continuó ofreciendo sacrificios y quemando incienso en ellos.
4 Un día Joás ordenó a los sacerdotes: «Recojan todo el dinero que cada persona traiga al templo del SEÑOR como ofrenda sagrada, incluso el impuesto del censo, el dinero de votos personales y todas las ofrendas voluntarias.
5 Cada sacerdote debe tomar el dinero de manos de su propio tesorero, y usarlo para restaurar el templo y reparar todo lo que esté dañado».
