And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

Verse 43 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Kings. The account summarizes Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah and notes that he did what was right, although the high places were not completely removed. His relationship with the king of Israel and his attempt to develop maritime trade are also mentioned. The evaluation combines recognition and limitation, showing that even rulers favorable toward faithfulness to the Lord are not described without nuance.

Und er wandelte in allem Wege seines Vaters Asa und wich nicht davon; und er tat was dem HERRN wohl gefiel.
Y anduvo en todo el camino de Asa su padre, sin declinar de él, haciendo lo recto en los ojos de Jehová. Con todo eso los altos no fueron quitados; que el pueblo sacrificaba aun, y quemaba perfumes en los altos.
Siguió en todo el camino de su padre Asa, sin apartarse de él, haciendo lo recto ante los ojos de Jehová. Sin embargo, no se eliminaron los santuarios de las alturas; el pueblo todavía ofrecía sacrificios y quemaba incienso en ellos.
Il marcha dans toute la voie d'Asa, son père, et ne s'en détourna point, faisant ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Eternel. Seulement, les hauts lieux ne disparurent point; le peuple offrait encore des sacrifices et des parfums sur les hauts lieux.
Nondimeno gli alti luoghi non furono tolti via; il popolo sacrificava ancora e faceva profumi negli alti luoghi.
E andou em todos os caminhos de seu pai Asa, não se desviou deles, fazendo o que era reto aos olhos do SENHOR.
約沙法 效法他父親 亞撒 所行的道,不偏離左右,行耶和華眼中看為正的事。只是丘壇還沒有廢去,百姓仍在那裏獻祭燒香。
