1 Rois 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 Rois 22:43 In-Context

41 Josaphat, fils d'Asa, avait commencé à régner sur Juda la quatrième année d'Achab, roi d'Israël.

42 Josaphat était âgé de trente-cinq ans quand il commença à régner, et il régna vingt-cinq ans à Jérusalem. Le nom de sa mère était Asuba, et elle était fille de Shilchi.

43 Il suivit entièrement la voie d'Asa, son père, et il ne s'en détourna point, faisant ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Éternel.

44 Seulement, les hauts lieux ne furent point détruits; le peuple y sacrifiait encore, et y offrait de l'encens.

45 Josaphat fut en paix avec le roi d'Israël.
