6 Y animóse su corazón en los caminos de Jehová, y quitó los altos y los bosques de Judá.

2 Crónicas 17:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 17:6

And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord
It was engaged in them, was bent and set upon them; he walked in them with great pleasure and cheerfulness, being inspired with zeal and courage; he was fearless and intrepid, and regarded not any opposition he might have, or expect to have, in the work of reformation in which he was concerned:

moreover, he took away the high places;
such as were dedicated to idols, but not those in which the true God was worshipped, ( 2 Chronicles 20:33 )

and groves out of Judah;
where idols were placed; for though these had been removed by Asa, yet had been renewed in the latter part of his days, when more negligent of religion.

4 Sino que buscó al Dios de su padre, y anduvo en sus mandamientos, y no según las obras de Israel.
5 Jehová por tanto confirmó el reino en su mano, y todo Judá dió á Josaphat presentes; y tuvo riquezas y gloria en abundancia.
6 Y animóse su corazón en los caminos de Jehová, y quitó los altos y los bosques de Judá.
7 Al tercer año de su reinado envió sus príncipes Ben-hail, Obdías, Zachârías, Nathaniel y Michêas, para que enseñasen en las ciudades de Judá;
8 Y con ellos á los Levitas, Semeías, Nethanías, Zebadías, y Asael, y Semiramoth, y Jonathán, y Adonías, y Tobías, y Tobadonías, Levitas; y con ellos á Elisama y á Joram, sacerdotes.
