11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
11
Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
12
He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his ancestors had made.
13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
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.
