Melachim Alef 15:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:15

And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated,
&c.] The spoils he had taken in war from Jeroboam, and which he had devoted to religious uses, but lived not to perform his vows, which his son now did for him; so that it seems, notwithstanding the sins he fell into, he had some regard to God and his worship, see ( 2 Chronicles 13:19 )

and the things which himself had dedicated;
out of the spoils taken from the Ethiopians, ( 2 Chronicles 14:13 2 Chronicles 14:14 ) , these he brought into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels; of various sorts.

14 But the high places were not removed; nevertheless levav Asa was shalem with Hashem all his days.
15 And he brought in the kodshei Aviv (the things his father had dedicated), and the things which he himself had dedicated, into the Beis Hashem, kesef, and zahav, and kelim.
