2 Chronicles 15:16-18

16King Asa 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.

17Asa did not remove the altars on all the hills in Israel, but he served the Lord faithfully for his whole life.

18He brought into God's temple the things that he and his father had made as gifts for God. They used silver and gold to make some of these things.
