He did evil in the sight of<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc>, but not to the same degree as the Israelite kings who preceded him.

But the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places. He built the Upper Gate to the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple.p>
