2 Re 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 Re 12:3 In-Context

1 L’anno settimo di Jehu, Joas cominciò a regnare, e regnò quarant’anni a Gerusalemme. Sua madre si chiamava Tsibia di Beer-Sceba.
2 Joas fece ciò ch’è giusto agli occhi dell’Eterno per tutto il tempo in cui fu diretto dal sacerdote Jehoiada.
3 Nondimeno, gli alti luoghi non scomparvero; il popolo continuava ad offrir sacrifizi e profumi sugli alti luoghi.
4 Joas disse ai sacerdoti: "Tutto il danaro consacrato che sarà recato alla casa dell’Eterno, vale a dire il danaro versato da ogni Israelita censìto, il danaro che paga per il suo riscatto personale secondo la stima fatta dal sacerdote, tutto il danaro che a qualunque persona venga in cuore di portare alla casa dell’Eterno,
5 i sacerdoti lo ricevano, ognuno dalle mani dei suoi conoscenti, e se ne servano per fare i restauri alla casa, dovunque si troverà qualcosa da restaurare".
