1 Kings 22:44

Verse 44. He took not away, and so forth He left some of the high places, that is those in which they worshipped the true God: but took away all others, 2 Chronicles 17:6; ( Challoner.) and even those also, before the end of his reign; ( Calmet.) as they were contrary to the law. Menochius.—Others think that the passage in Par. is incorrect; ula being substituted for vaud. He took away the high places, (Calmet. 19:3) and the groves. Grot. Capell.—We know that such remained in the days of Joas; and Josaphat in not ranked among the irreproachable kings. Sirach 49:5. Calmet.—He attempted perhaps to remove those places, but was prevented by the people. Menochius. See Calmet. 15:14.
