1 Kings 15:11-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

11 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.

13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah 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.

14 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.

New International Version NIV

11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his ancestors had made.

13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

14 Although he did not remove the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life.

15 He brought into the temple of the LORD the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
