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
This verse refers to King Jotham of Judah (around 750-735 BC), who was generally a good king but allowed unauthorized worship sites called 'high places' to continue operating. These high places were hilltop shrines where people offered sacrifices to God outside of the official temple in Jerusalem, which violated God's commands about centralized worship. The 'higher gate' likely refers to an upper entrance to the temple complex that Jotham constructed as part of his building projects.
