Exegesis

The prepositional phrase im YHWH {עִם־יְהוָה | ʿim Yə-hō-wāh} marks the object of devotion, and the construct kol-yamav {כָּל־יָמָיו | kol yā-māw} expresses temporal extent. The juxtaposition of clauses preserves the Hebrew contrast between the persistence of the high places and Asa’s undivided heart.

Root and etymology

כ־ל

all

In context1 Kings 15:14

Yet the high places were not removed; however, Asa’s heart was wholly devoted to the LORD all his days .
