1 Kings 15:11 In-Context

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa became the king of Judah.

10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [was] Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa did right in the eyes of Yahweh, like David his ancestor.

12 He put away the male shrine prostitutes from the land, and he removed all of the idols that his ancestors made.

13 Also, he had Maacah his mother removed from the office of queen mother, [as] she had made a repulsive image for the Asherah. Asa also cut down her repulsive image and burned it in the Wadi Kidron.
