HE REMOVED THE HIGH PLACES...: Some were left (1Ki
15:14), presumably where Yahweh had been worshipped.
IN EVERY TOWN...: But not necessarily in all the
country areas (2Ch 15:17; 1Ki 15:14)?
2Ch 14:6
FOR THE LORD GAVE HIM REST: The concept of being given
rest -- often from one's enemies -- is frequent in Bible usage: Exo 33:14; Deu
3:20; 12:10; 25:19; Josh 1:13,15; 22:4; 23:1; 2Sa 7:1; 1Ki 5:4; 8:56; 1Ch
22:9,18; 23;25; 2Ch 14:6,7; Isa 14:3; Mat 11:28; Heb 4:8. It is often linked
with David and his kingdom.
