Exegesis
The clause le-Elohei avoteihem {לֵאלֹהֵי אֲבֹתֵיהֶם | lê-’ĕ·lō·hê·y ā·vā·ṯê·hêm} ‘for the God of their fathers’ identifies the covenantal object of preparation. The vav-consecutive narrative pattern weaves these elements into a solemn rebuke linking persistent cultic practice with spiritual unpreparedness.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:33
However, the high places were not removed, and the people still had not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
