1 Kings 15:9-13
9So in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, AsaH609 began to reignH4427 as kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
10He reignedH4427 for forty-oneH705H259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and 1his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was MaacahH4601 the daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53.
11Now 2AsaH609 didH6213 whatH3477 wasH3477 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, like his fatherH1 DavidH1732.
123He also removedH5674 the maleH6945 cultH6945 prostitutesH6945 from the landH776 and 4removedH5493 allH3605 the idolsH1544 whichH834 his fathersH1 had madeH6213.
13And evenH1571 his motherH517 MaacahH4601, 5he also removedH5493 her from the position of queenH1377 motherH1377, becauseH834 she had madeH6213 an abominableH4656 imageH4656 6as an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 her abominableH4656 imageH4656 and 7burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
