A chociaż kaplic nie pokaził, jednak przedsię serce swe statecznie zachował Panu po wszytek czas żywota swego.
I chociaż świątynki nie znikły z kraju, to jednak serce Asy pozostało szczerze oddane PANU aż do kresu jego dni.
Nie zostały jednak usunięte wyżyny. Lecz serce Asy było szczere wobec WIEKUISTEGO po wszystkie jego dni.
A chociaż wyżyny nie były skażone, jednak serce Azy było doskonałe przy Panu po wszystkie dni jego.
I chociaż wyżyny nie zostały zniszczone, jednak serce Asy było doskonałe wobec PANA przez wszystkie jego dni.
Lecz świątynki na wzgórzach nie zostały usunięte; jednak serce Asy było szczere oddane Panu przez całe jego życie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the high places were not removed,.... That is, such as had been used for the worship of God, before the temple was built, which yet now should have been removed, since sacrifice was now only to be offered there; but he might think they were still lawful, or the people had such an opinion of them, that it was difficult and dangerous to attempt to remove them; otherwise high places for idolatry were removed by him, 2 Chronicles 14:3,
nevertheless, Asa's heart was perfect all his days; he was sincere in the worship of God, and did everything to the best of his knowledge and capacity for restoring true religion, and destroying idolatry.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
2 Chronicles 14:3 would seem at first sight to imply that he entirely put down the worship. But idolatry, if at one time put down, crept back afterward; or while Asa endeavored to sweep it wholly away, his subjects would not be controlled, but found a means of maintaining it in some places - not perhaps in the cities (see 2 Chronicles 14:5), but in remote country districts, where the royal authority was weaker, and secrecy more practicable.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 15:14. The high places were not removed — He was not able to make a thorough reformation; this was reserved for his son Jehoshaphat.
Asa's heart was perfect — He worshipped the true God, and zealously promoted his service; see on 1 Kings 15:3. And even the high places which he did not remove were probably those where the true God alone was worshipped; for that there were such high places the preceding history amply proves, and Jarchi intimates that these were places which individuals had erected for the worship of Jehovah.
