Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Kings. Pekah assassinates Pekahiah and begins another reign marked by political violence. During his government, Tiglath-pileser III conquers several Israelite regions and deports the population. Meanwhile, Jotham rules Judah and continues to receive a relatively favorable evaluation, although the high places remain. The section juxtaposes Israel’s accelerating deterioration with Judah’s situation. Assyrian pressure is no longer distant: it enters Israelite territory directly and anticipates the definitive disappearance of the northern kingdom.

nur, daß sie die Höhen nicht abtaten; denn das Volk opferte und räucherte noch auf den Höhen. Er baute das obere Tor am Hause des HERRN.
Con todo eso los altos no fueron quitados; que el pueblo sacrificaba aún, y quemaba perfumes en los altos. Edificó él la puerta más alta de la casa de Jehová.
Sin embargo, no se quitaron los lugares altos; el pueblo seguía ofreciendo sacrificios y quemando incienso en los lugares altos. Jotam construyó la puerta superior de la casa de Jehová.
Seulement, les hauts lieux ne disparurent point; le peuple offrait encore des sacrifices et des parfums sur les hauts lieux. Jotham bâtit la porte supérieure de la maison de l'Eternel.
Sol gli alti luoghi non furono tolti via; il popolo sacrificava ancora e faceva profumi, sopra gli alti luoghi. Esso edificò la porta alta della Casa del Signore.
Tão-somente os altos não foram tirados; porque o povo ainda sacrificava e queimava incenso nos altos. Este edificou a porta alta da casa do SENHOR.
只是丘壇還沒有廢去,百姓仍在丘壇獻祭燒香。 約坦 建了耶和華殿的 上門 。
