Exegesis
In the second clause, the construct lə-ḇaḇ-ʾā-sāʾ {לְבַב־אָסָא | lə-ḇaḇ ʾā-sāʾ} ‘Asa’s heart’ functions as subject with hā-yāh {הָיָה | hā-yāh} ‘was’ linking to the predicate adjective šā-lēm {שָׁלֵם | šā-lēm} ‘whole,’ temporally qualified by kāl-yā-māw {כָּל־יָמָיו | kāl-yā-māw} ‘all his days.’ This structure contrasts collective idolatry with individual faithfulness.
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.
