Gill's Notes on the Bible
Howbeit the high places were not removed,.... As they were not by his father, and the same is observed of the best of kings before:
the people sacrificed and burnt incense still in the high places; from which they could not be brought off by prophets or kings:
he built the higher gate of the house of the Lord; which was between the temple and the king's palace, which led to it; this he repaired and beautified, or added something to it; or otherwise it was built by Solomon, and therefore called the new gate, Jeremiah 26:10 it is the same that was afterwards called the gate of Nicanor; the east gate, as say the Jewish writers k.
k T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 7. 1. Gloss. in ib. Maimon. Cele Hamikdash, c. 7. sect. 6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He built the higher gate - Jotham followed the example of his father in military, no less than in religious, matters (compare the marginal reference with 2 Chronicles 26:9). The “higher†or “upper gate†of the temple is thought to have been that toward the north; and its fortification would seem to indicate fear of an attack from that quarter.
