| II Chronicles 20:33
| But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
| Places, erected in honour of God, but displeasing to him, 2 Paralipomenon 17:6. (Haydock) --- The good king perhaps attempted to take these also away, but was obliged to desist by the rebellious people. (Menochius) --- Hence we find that they are here blamed. (Haydock) --- They would not conform exactly to the law, (Leviticus 17:3.; Tirinus) and the king was not able to bring all to perfection. (Worthington) --- "It is better to pass over....vices, than to shew which we cannot subdue." (Tacitus, An. iii.)
