“But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.”
“But this only, that he took not away the high places; for yet the people sacrificed, and burnt incense in the high places:”
“But still the high places were not taken away; the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.”

In the second year of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.
He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,
except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.
But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”
He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.
