What does 2 Chronicles 14:5 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
5. he took away ... the high places--that is, those devoted to idolatrous rites. took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images--All public objects and relics of idolatry in Jerusalem and other cities through his kingdom were destroyed; but those high places where God was worshipped under the figure of an ox, as at Beth-el, were allowed to remain (1Ki 15:14); so far the reformation was incomplete. 2Ch 14:6-8. Having Peace, He Strengthens His Kingdom with Forts and Armies.
