TSK · 2 Chronicles 15:17

Now the people were offering sacrifices at the high places, because in those days a temple had not yet been built to honor the LORD.

When Solomon became old, his wives shifted his allegiance to other gods; he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.

But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.

He removed the pagan altars and the high places, smashed the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles.

He followed in his father Asa’s footsteps and was careful to do what the LORD approved.

He offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
