Hanya bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidak dijauhkan. Bangsa itu belum mengarahkan hatinya kepada Allah nenek moyang mereka.
Tetapi tiada juga dilalukan segala panggung itu, karena orang banyak belum membetulkan hatinya kepada Allah nenek moyang mereka itu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Howbeit, the high places were not taken away,.... The high places, where idols were worshipped, were taken away, 2 Chronicles 17:6, but not those where sacrifices were offered to the true God:
for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers; to seek and serve him wholly, according to his will, to offer sacrifices to him only at Jerusalem, as the law required, Deuteronomy 12:5, they could not as yet be prevailed upon to relinquish the high places, built and made use of before the temple was; partly because they were nearer to some of them than that, and partly out of veneration for them, as being of a long time used.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The latter clause of this verse helps to reconcile the first clause with the statement that Jehoshaphat “took away the high places” (see 2 Chronicles 15:17 note).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 20:33. The high places were not taken away — The idolatry, as we have seen, was universally suppressed; but some of the places where that worship had been performed were not destroyed. Some of them still remained; and these, to such a fickle people, became the means of idolatry in reigns less propitious to truth and religion.
