2 Chronicles 15:16-18

16King Asa even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down her obscene pole, broke it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

17Although the pagan shrines were not removed from Israel, Asa’s heart remained completely faithful throughout his life.

18He brought into the Temple of God the silver and gold and the various items that he and his father had dedicated.
