In the twentieth year of Yarov`am king of Yisra'el began Asa to reign over Yehudah.
10
Forty-one years reigned he in Yerushalayim: and his mother's name was Ma`akhah the daughter of Avishalom.
11
Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
12
He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13
Also Ma`akhah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
