1 Kings 15:10-13

10Asa ruled in Jerusalem as king for 41 years. His grandmother was Maakah. She was the daughter of Abishalom.

11Asa did things that pleased the Lord, as his ancestor King David had done.

12He removed the male prostitutes from the altars on the hills. He sent them out of Judah. He removed all the useless idols that his ancestors had made.

13He also told his grandmother Maakah that she could no longer have authority as the Queen Mother. This was because she had made a disgusting Asherah pole to worship. Asa cut down the Asherah pole and he burned it in the Kidron Valley.
