Asa's Righteous Reign and Reforms

1 Kings 15:9-15

So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Asa, king of Juda,

And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.

And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father:

And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:

But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:

And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.
