Howbeit.
2 Kings 15:4• 4Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. (2 Kings 15:4)
;
2 Kings 18:4• 4He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. (2 Kings 18:4)
;
2 Chron. 32:12• 12Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it? (2 Chron. 32:12)
the higher gate.
2 Chron. 27:3‑9• 3He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
 4Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
 5He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
 6So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
 7Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
 8He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
 9And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. (2 Chron. 27:3‑9)
• Strength presents a danger. We have seen in the case of Uzziah that this feeling pushed him to lift himself up before the high priest (2 Chron. 26:16-21). Jotham does not become puffed up by his strength. Also it is said of him, in comparing him with his father: “Only he entered not into the temple of Jehovah” (2 Chron. 27:2). On the contrary, being humble, he was occupied with the house of God. (“Jotham, King of Judah: 2 Kings 15:32-38” by H.L. Rossier)
• {built the upper gate} There are other deeds in his life, and Chronicles informs us of them, but is it not touching to see that God puts this one into the spotlight as characteristic, in His eyes, of the reign of this faithful king? (“Jotham, King of Judah: 2 Kings 15:32-38” by H.L. Rossier)

Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah.
