1 Kings 15:9-15

Asa's Righteous Reign and Reforms

1 Kings 15:9-15
9
It was in the twentieth year of Yarov'am king of Isra'el that Asa began his reign over Y'hudah.
10
He ruled forty-one years in Yerushalayim; his [grand]mother's name was Ma'akhah the daughter of Avishalom.
11
Asa did what was right from the perspective of ADONAI, as David his ancestor had done.
12
He rid the land of cult-prosti-tutes and removed all the idols his ancestors had made.
13
He also deposed Ma'akhah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a disgusting image as an asherah. Asa cut down this image of hers and burned it in Vadi Kidron.
14
But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless, Asa was wholehearted with ADONAI throughout his life.
15
He brought into the house of ADONAI all the articles his father had consecrated, also the things he himself had consecrated - silver, gold and utensils.
