And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
1 Kings 22:43 — KJV
Ways of Asa. Few specific details concerning the reign of Jehoshaphat are given in Kings, the entire record covering only vs. 41 to 50. In Chronicles the record is much more complete (2 Chron. 17:1 to 21:1). The main item stressed is that he was a good king, walking in the ways of his father Asa. On the general piety of Asa, see 1 Kings 15:11-15; 2 Chron. 14:2-5; 15:8-18. But Jehoshaphat seems to have been a better king than his father, for there is no account of his falling away in his old age as did Asa (2 Chron. 16:2-12).
Not taken away. This agrees with 2 Chron. 20:33. But 2 Chron. 17:6 states that “he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.” The meaning probably is that Jehoshaphat removed the more vile places of worship such as contained “groves,” but allowed certain unauthorized sanctuaries to remain. Or he may have removed them, and some were later restored.
