1 Kings 15:8-14

8And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.

9And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;

10and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.

11And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father.

12And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made.

13And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron.

14But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days.
