George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:2

God, with respect to the external worship of the true God, (Haydock) though he had some faults, 3 Kings xv. 14. --- Places, while he tolerated those which were intended for the service of the Lord, (Calmet) though illegally; and he even left the buildings erected by Solomon standing, (4 Kings xxiii. 13.; Tirinus) thinking they might be no longer dangerous. (Salien) --- Several other pious kings did the like, for which they deserved some reprehension; as they could not be ignorant, that this was considered as wrong by the more enlightened, Ecclesiasticus xlix. 5. (Tirinus) --- It was the king's duty to destroy the exterior practices of idolatry, while the priests and prophets were to instruct. (Worthington)
