Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 33. - Howbeit the high places... the people had not prepared. The statements so precisely made in this verse evidently serve the purpose of distinguishing between the wishes and orders of the king and the unequal conduct of his people.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(33) For . . . hearts.--And the people had not yet directed their heart. This language is the chronicler's own (see 2Chronicles 12:14; 2Chronicles 19:3), and is substituted for the statement, "The people were still wont to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places" (Kings). They had not yet accepted the principle of the one Temple.(33) Howbeit the high places were not taken away.--This is no contradiction of 2Chronicles 17:6, "And further (or again), he took away the high places." There the holy places of heathenism, here those of the illegal worship of Jehovah, appear to be meant.
