Commentary

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, Jer 26:10 it is the same that was afterwards called the gate of Nicanor; the east gate, as say the Jewish writers (k).
