2 Chronicles24:17
17 Now after the death of Jehojada, came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the King : then the King hearkned unto them.
In that posture presenting their requests to him, that they might not be confined to unnecessary and troublesom journeys in coming to Jerusalem to worship, but might have the liberty, which their Fore-fathers enjoyed, of worshipping God in the High-places. Which liberty, when once they had obtained, they knew they could then worship Idols without observation or disturbance: which was the thing at which they aimed. And for the prevention of such abuses, God obliged all to worship him in one place.
