On every high hill the people looked for, or built, places for idols. The hills of a region are always spiritually significant. If the hills belong to God's people or people who follow a morally pure way of life, then the villages, towns and cities in the valleys can be influenced by the life on the hills. If the hills are given to idolatry then life in the valleys can be difficult in many ways. Intercession, of course, can change this.
