Only, the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in high places. He built the Upper Gate of the house of Jehovah.
he took away the high places, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and beat to bits the bronze serpent that Moses made (for in those days it was that the sons of Israel burned sacrifices to it) and he called it Nehushtan.
And he took the commanders of the hundreds, and the great ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of Jehovah; and they came in through the Upper Gate to the king’s house, and made the king sit on the throne of the kingdom.
Has not Hezekiah himself removed His high places, and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar you shall worship, and on it you shall burn incense.
