1 Kings 22:43

The high places were not taken away - In II Chronicles 17:6, it is expressly said, that he did take away the high places. Allowing that the text is right in 2 Chron., the two places may be easily reconciled. There were two kinds of high places in the land:

1.Those used for idolatrous purposes.

2.Those that were consecrated to God, and were used before the temple was built. The former he did take away; the latter he did not.

But some think the parallel place in II Chronicles 17:6 is corrupted, and that, instead of veod hesir , "and moreover he took away," we should read, velo hesir , "and he did Not take away."
