13 And even his mother Maacah, (A)he also removed her from the position of queen mother, because she had made an abominable image [a]as an Asherah; and Asa cut down her abominable image and (B)burned it at the brook Kidron. 14 (C)But the high places [b]were not eliminated; nevertheless (D)Asa’s heart was [c]wholly devoted to the Lord all his days. 15 And (E)he brought into the house of the Lord the [d]holy gifts of his father and his own [e]holy gifts: silver, gold, and valuable utensils.

New International Version
13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah(A) from her position as queen mother,(B) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down(C) and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Although he did not remove(D) the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed(E) to the Lord all his life. 15 He brought into the temple of the Lord the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(F)
