And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done.

4 Only he took not away [any] of the high places: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

But the high places he did not destroy: for the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
