Exegesis
The negated perfect lo-sārû {לֹא־סָרוּ | lō-śārû} ‘were not removed’ asserts continuance, with mi-yisrāʾēl {מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל | mî-yis-rā-ʾēl} ‘from Israel’ delimiting the community.
In context — 2 Chronicles 15:17
But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole all his days.
