TSNTyndale Study Notes:

14:2-5 At the beginning of his reign, Asa . . . removed the foreign altars in Judah (14:5). However, he did not remove the pagan shrines from Israel (15:17). These were probably in the cities of the northern kingdom that Asa had inherited from Abijah. Idolatry practiced by other peoples occupying the land plagued Judah throughout its history; this pagan activity might have revived toward the end of Asa’s reign more than thirty years later.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,Judah to,seek DOM YHWH god ancestors,their and,to,keep the,law and,the,commandment )

Since Asa was king, he may have told his officials to do these things. Alternate translation: “He had his people break down the stone pillars and cut down the Asherah poles”
