1 Kings 15:11-15
New International Version
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David(A) had done. 12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes(B) from the land and got rid of all the idols(C) his ancestors had made. 13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah(D) from her position as queen mother,(E) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down(F) and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Although he did not remove(G) the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed(H) 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.(I)
2 Chronicles 14:2-5
New International Version
Asa King of Judah(A)
2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.(B) 3 He removed the foreign altars(C) and the high places, smashed the sacred stones(D) and cut down the Asherah poles.[a](E) 4 He commanded Judah to seek the Lord,(F) the God of their ancestors, and to obey his laws and commands. 5 He removed the high places(G) and incense altars(H) in every town in Judah, and the kingdom was at peace under him.
