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 place.

9In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah,

10and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father had done.

12He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

14But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true to the Lord all his days.
