And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead.
9
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
10
And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11
And Asa did
that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as
did David his father.
12
For he took away the male
cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
