But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days.

The high places, however, were not taken away; the people had not yet set their hearts upon the God of their fathers.

He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places.

For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images.And they chopped down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and he cut down the incense altars that stood above them. And he broke in pieces the Asherim and the carved and the metal images, and he made dust of them and scattered it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around,he broke down the altars and beat the Asherim and the images into powder and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord.

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 throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.For all his rules were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!

He took away the foreign altars and the high places and broke down the pillars and cut down the Asherim

Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things,
