121He also removedH5674 the maleH6945 cultH6945 prostitutesH6945 from the landH776 and 2removedH5493 allH3605 the idolsH1544 whichH834 his fathersH1 had madeH6213.
13And evenH1571 his motherH517 MaacahH4601, 3he also removedH5493 her from the position of queenH1377 motherH1377, becauseH834 she had madeH6213 an abominableH4656 imageH4656 4as an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 her abominableH4656 imageH4656 and 5burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
146But the highH1116 placesH1116 7were not eliminatedH5493; neverthelessH7534 8Asa’sH609 heartH3824 was 9whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117.
