As you read about the kings of Judah, it’s interesting how many of them are described as good but without having removed the high places. I just read about good King Hezekiah’s son, bad King Manasseh (who then humbled himself in exile and was able to return) with my family. It struck me that after he repented it said that the people still worshipped in the high places, but only the Lord their God.
But isn’t that the same idolatry that the Israelites fell into with Aaron?
It’s odd the degrees of good and bad that we see in the kings while still having an ultimate good or evil label assigned to them in the Bible.
