Asa did what was right in the Lord's eyes, as his ancestor David had done.
12
He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all of the idols that his fathers had made.a13
He also removed his grandmotherb Maacahc from being queen mother because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. Asa chopped down her obscene image and burned it in the Kidron Valley.d14
The high places were not taken away; but Asa's heart was completely with the Lord his entire life.
15
He brought his father's consecrated gifts and his own consecrated gifts into the Lord's temple: silver, gold, and utensils.e
