Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.
Sin embargo, los lugares altos no fueron derribados: el pueblo aún ofrecía sacrificios y quemaba incienso en estos lugares altos. Él construyó la puerta superior del templo del SEÑOR.
Aunque construyó en el templo, el rey no eliminó completamente la adoración en lugares prohibidos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of King Jotham of Judah, around the 8th century BC, the nation was divided between Israel and Judah, and idolatry remained a widespread issue despite reforms by previous kings. Jotham is described as doing what was right in God's eyes, but he neglected to remove the high places, which were unauthorized worship sites where people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense instead of solely using the Temple in Jerusalem. This reflects a common pattern in Judah's history where leaders showed partial faithfulness while allowing cultural practices to persist.
