1 Kings 15:9-15

9In the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of Jeroboam’sH3379 reignH4428 over IsraelH3478, AsaH609 became kingH4427H4428 of JudahH3063, 10and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 forty-oneH705H259 yearsH8141. His grandmother’sH5171 nameH8034 was MaacahH4601 daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53.

11And AsaH609 didH6213 what was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, as his fatherH1 DavidH1732 had done. 12He banishedH5674 the male shrine prostitutesH6945 fromH4480 the landH776 and removedH5493 allH3605 the idolsH1544 thatH834 his fathersH1 had madeH6213. 13He alsoH1571 removedH5493 his grandmotherH517 MaacahH4601 from her position as queen motherH1377 becauseH834 she had madeH6213 a detestableH4656 Asherah poleH842. AsaH609 chopped downH3772 the poleH4656 and burnedH8313 it in the KidronH6939 ValleyH5158.

14The high placesH1116 were notH3808 removedH5493, butH7535 Asa’sH609 heartH3824 wasH1961 fully devotedH8003 toH5973 the LORDH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117. 15And he broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 and the articlesH3627 that heH6944 and his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944.
