Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of Yahweh has come are holy."

Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

His prayer also, and how [God] was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.

and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made.

for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim,

However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.

Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.

He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Yahweh, the God of his fathers.

Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?'

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.

For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images.
