But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Pero los lugares altos no fueron quitados: el pueblo todavía ofrecía sacrificios y quemaba incienso en los lugares altos.

📚 Contexto Histórico
During the reign of King Joash of Judah, who became king as a young child and was guided by the priest Jehoiada, he led reforms such as repairing the temple of the Lord to restore proper worship. However, Joash failed to eliminate the high places, which were elevated sites outside Jerusalem where people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense, often blending elements of pagan practices with Israelite religion. This reflects a recurring theme in Israel's history, where even well-intentioned kings did not fully eradicate these unauthorized worship sites, leading to spiritual compromise.
