1 Kings 15:13-15

13He also removed his grandmother Maacah from the position of queen mother because she made a statue of the repulsive goddess Asherah. Asa cut the statue down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

14Although the illegal worship sites were not torn down, Asa remained committed to the Lord his entire life.

15He brought into the Lord’s temple the silver, the gold, and the utensils he and his father had set apart as holy.
