1 Kings 15:8-14

8Then Abijam slept with his fathers so they buried him in the city of David, and his son Asa became king in his place.

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

10He reigned 41 years in Jerusalem; his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11Now Asa did what was right in Adonai’s eyes, like his father David.

12He also expelled the male prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13Also he deposed his mother Maacah from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image as an Asherah pole. So Asa cut down her image and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

14But they did not take away the high places. Nevertheless Asa’s heart was wholly devoted to Adonai all his days.
