וְהַבָּמ֖וֹת לֹא־סָ֑רוּ רַ֣ק לְבַב־אָסָ֗א הָיָ֥ה שָׁלֵ֛ם עִם־יְהוָ֖ה כָּל־יָמָֽיו׃
Os altos, porém, não foram tirados; todavia o coração de Asa foi reto para com o SENHOR todos os seus dias.
From David to Destruction
Regarding Asa, the text does not use the fact that he does not remove the Bamot to detract from his status as a righteous king. Melachim I 15:11 compares Asa to David HaMelech. Then, Melachim I 15:14 mentions Asa’s failure to remove the Bamot. Nevertheless, Sefer Melachim’s summary of Asa’s reign concludes that “Asa’s heart was whole with Hashem all his days.” Thus, Sefer Melachim overall characterizes Asa as a righteous ruler.
