^35 (A)However the ^[a]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ^(B)He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord.

^20 (A)Then he took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the Lord; and they went through the Upper Gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

³ But ^(A)the ^[a]high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

^12 (A)Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, “You shall worship before one altar and burn incense on ^(B)it”?

³ He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord, and he built extensively on the wall of ^(A)Ophel. ⁴ Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers. ⁵ He also fought with the king of the ^(B)Ammonites and defeated them. And the people of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The people of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also. ⁶ So Jotham became mighty, ^(C)because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.

⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. ⁸ He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. ^9 (D)So Jotham ^[a]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then ^(E)Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

^4 (A)He removed the ^[a]high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the ^[b]wooden image and broke in pieces the ^(B)bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it ^[c]Nehushtan.

^4 (A)except that the ^[a]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
