2 Tawarikh 17:6

17:6 He was committed to following the Lord; ¹  he even removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.

2 Tawarikh 32:12

32:12 Hezekiah is the one who eliminated ²  the Lord’s ³  high places and altars and then told Judah and Jerusalem, “At one altar you must worship and offer sacrifices.”

2 Tawarikh 34:3

34:3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his ancestor ⁴  David. In his twelfth year he began ridding ⁵  Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, Asherah poles, idols, and images.

[17:6]  ¹ tn Heb “and his heart was high in the ways of the Lord.” Perhaps גָּבַהּ (gavah, “be high”) here means “be cheerful” (HALOT 171 s.v.) or “be encouraged” (BDB 147 s.v. 3.a).

[32:12]  ² tn Heb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.

[32:12]  ³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “father.”

[34:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “purifying.”
