1 Kings 15:11-15

Abijam Reigns in Judah

¹¹Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David. ¹²And he banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. ¹³Also he removed Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron. ¹⁴But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s heart was loyal to the Lord all his days. ¹⁵He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
