Barnes' Notes
Comparing this verse with marginal references, it would seem that in II Chronicles 14:3, II Chronicles 14:5 the intention and endeavors of the monarch are in the writer' s mind, while here he is speaking of the practice of the people. However earnestly the most pious monarchs sought to root out the high-place worship, they failed of complete success. Compare a similar discrepancy, to be similarly explained, in the history of Jehoshaphat II Chronicles 17:6; II Chronicles 20:33.
The heart of Asa was perfect all his days - Not that Asa was sinless (see II Chronicles 16:2-10, II Chronicles 16:12); but that he was free from the sin of idolatry, and continued faithful to Yahweh all his life.
