2 Kings 12:3 meaning and explanation
Nevertheless, the high places were not removed; the people continued sacrificing and burning incense there.
2 Kings 12:3, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The narrator gives a balanced verdict on Joash, king of Judah, who reigned in Jerusalem for forty years under the guidance of Jehoiada the priest. The word "nevertheless" marks a limit to his reform: the high places, local shrines scattered through the land, were not removed, and the people kept offering sacrifices and burning incense there.
